Sony A77 With Fancy Transparent-Mirror Tech

Sony A77 With Fancy Transparent-Mirror Tech

Like a quantum mongrel, Sony's A77 is neither mirror-equipped or mirrorless. Photo Sony PR. Yet another new camera announcement for today. This time it's Sony's SLT-A77, the SLR equivalent of the also-new-today NEX7 mirrorless compact.

The A77 has two very cool new features. First is Sony's new translucent mirror tech. This uses a pellicle mirror instead of the usual silvered glass panel, letting the light pass through to the sensor, whilst still allowing some (in an SLR) to be reflected up to the viewfinder.
