The Sony Alpha 99 (model variants SLT-A99V with GPS, SLT-A99 without GPS depending on country) is the new flagship for Sony's Alpha SLT camera line, announced September 12, 2012.[1] It features the 24.3MP effective 35mm full-frame sensor, with the normal sensor range of ISO 100-32000.[2] The selectable sensitivity is up to ISO 25600, which makes this camera able to capture still images in low-light environments. This camera can also combine six images together, to generate a single image with two additional steps of ISO sensitivity.
Like Sony's APS-c flagship, α77, the α99 has the ability to record Full HD 1080 video with up to 60p frame rate. In markets outside China, this camera also has built-in GPS that allows recording of position information into the photo. The α99 also uses a three-way tiltable LCD, as used on α77, this feature allows the photographer to view the LCD from any angle.
