Conclusion
|
The Canon EOS 650D is a responsive SLR that's easy to use and takes excellent-quality photos. In fact, when it comes to taking pictures, this EOS is a sure success. The touchscreen is sleekly integrated and the video mode's continuous autofocus brings new possibilities for consumer users. |
The Sony Alpha 77 is a success on all fronts: its electronic viewfinder is good enough to silence critics (including us) as it avoids most of the usual pitfalls; the camera's performances are at least excellent and sometimes outstanding; and on top of that it has a high-quality build and finish. That said, the 24 Megapixels aren't really all that useful, there's been a slight drop in sensitivity, and some design and handling features could still be improved. |

Cons
|
- Hybrid autofocus system could be faster - Autofocus can be a little hesitant in low light - White balance could be better - Noisy shutter release - No sign of Wi-Fi, GPS, USB 3.0 |
- No major progress in image quality, even a slight regression in sensitivity - Interface can sometimes be confusing - Buffer memory can be a bit tight (at full speed the bust mode is limited to under 2 seconds) - Battery life isn't as good as SLRs with optical viewfinders (approx. 400 photos) - Electronic viewfinder: still not quite as sharp as a 24 x 36 mm SLR viewfinder, slight display lag, dynamic range could be better |
