The '''Sony Alpha 77 II''' (ILCA-77M2), stylized as the '''Sony α77 II''', is an interchangeable-lens camera aimed at the advanced amateur. It replaced the [[Engineering:Sony Alpha 77|Sony Alpha 77]] model in June 2014. It is similar in design to its predecessor, including the use of a SLT transparent mirror and electronic viewfinder.

==Specifications==
The successor of Sony Alpha 77 model, the Sony Alpha 77 II is similar in design to its antecedent, including the use of a SLT transparent mirror and electronic viewfinder. It features a BIONZ X image processor and is compatible with A-mount lenses. GPS has been dropped in favour of Wi-Fi and NFC. The focus area is wider and denser, with a class-leading 79 AF points including 15 crossing sensor combined with subject tracking and eye-focus capabilities. The SLT design avoids the need to flip the mirror out of the way with every shot, allowing a rapid 12 fps burst speed for up to 60 frames in full resolution. Unlike most DSLR cameras, the phase-detect focus unit is operational during live-view and video (which is Full HD at 60p/50p and 24p/25p). The resolution of the camera is 24 megapixels. Sony's A-mount cameras feature in-body image stabilisation and the α77 II is the first of such to also stabilise the viewfinder when taking still images. ISO ranges from 50 to 25600. [[Engineering:APS-C|APS-C]] sized [[Engineering:CMOS|CMOS]] sensor.

==Reception==
Angela Nicholson of ''[[TechRadar]]'' gave the camera four and a half stars, calling the unit "great" as a whole for enthusiasts wanting to shoot "a range of subjects in a wide variety of conditions."<ref name="Nicholson2014"/> Callum McInerney-Riley of ''Amateur Photographer'' regarded the autofocus, [[Graphical user interface|graphical user interface]] and "comprehensive" wireless features as pros to the camera, but cited the harshness of the [[Noise reduction|noise reduction]] and overexposure due to its translucent mirror, along with its lack of a [[Engineering:Global Positioning System|GPS]], as cons.<ref name="McInerney-Riley2014"/> Moritz Wanke of ''Chip'' gave it a rating of 93.8 percent, concluding it to be an improvement of its predecessor and the best camera containing an [[Engineering:APS-C|APS-C]] image sensor in the market.<ref name="Wanke2014"/> Writing for ''Zoom.nl'', Cees de Jonge gave it a 7.9 out of 10, being surprised at its SLT designation, which he considered "passé".<ref name="de Jonge2014"/>
