Leaked images show Sony Alpha A77 camera

Sony-Alpha-A77Sony's upcoming Alpha A77 DSLR has allegedly surfaced yet again, with several press renderings appearing on the Dyxum forums. The successor to the A700 is shown with a battery grip, which was confirmed early this year in an official teaser at the CP+ expo. The redesigned housing also appears to offer a new OLED panel that mounts via two-axis swivel.

The A77 is also expected to arrive with a magnesium alloy body, 24-megapixel sensor, and 1080p video capabilities. The design also integrates a translucent mirror for quicker autofocus, while the CMOS sensor and double Bionz processor are said to be capable of 10-frames-per-second shooting.
Sony is expected to sell the A77 body for $1,000, though a release date has yet to be confirmed.
