Pocket-Lint: We knew the Sony Alpha A99 - the first full-frame single lens translucent (SLT) camera - was on its way, having played with it extensively back in 2012. Sony's transition from the traditional DSLR space to the SLT fold has seen the company make the digital DSLR, well, even more digital in many respects. In our minds the Alpha A99 represents the completion of that process of change; it's out with the old A900 and traditional DSLR cameras as a whole, and in with the new tech.
Techradar: Many people have been waiting for a Sony Alpha a900 replacement ever since it was first announced all the way back in 2008.
That was the last Sony DSLR camera to use a full-frame sensor. Earlier this year, the company confirmed that the next iteration of the full-frame device would use its translucent mirror technology (TMT). So here it is, in the Sony Alpha a99 DSLT.
