Sony Alpha A99 camera also uses super advanced technology with the technology translucent Mirror reflected light can penetrate 70% and reflects 30% of light to the phase detection AF sensor.
Unlike other full frame camera, the Sony Alpha A99 is a full frame camera that carries the world's first Translucent Mirror Technology. Armed with Exmor R CMOS sensor resolution of 24.3 megapixels, this camera is also supported by the BIONZ processor for image processing and video support.

If you want to make a video or a movie, the Sony Alpha A99 is designed for optimal video recording. The camera is equipped with anti-noisy multi-controller on the front body, and 2 memory card slot that supports Memory Stick Pro Duo and SD / SDHC / SDXC. Both slots may be used directly in the recording video simultaneously. If one has the storage media is full, the camera will automatically switch to a second storage media without disturbing the camera to stop filming.
Sony Alpha A99 marketed in October 2012 with a price tag of U.S. $ 2,800 (body, without lens). The prices are quite competitive. You can compare it with other full frame cameras from Nikon and Canon.
*) SLT stands for "Single Lens Translucent", with the cameras incorporating TMT (Translucent Mirror Technology), a translucent mirror that allows roughly 70% of the light entering through the lens to pass directly through it and onto the imaging sensor, while a smaller amount, around 30% is reflected up to the camera's phase detection autofocus (AF) sensor. This means that the mirror, rather than flipping out of the way as in a traditional SLR camera, remains fixed in place, speeding up the time taken to record a shot and allowing for fast, full-time phase detection AF.
Other advantages of the design include less camera shake due to the mirror not moving, no viewfinder blackout during shooting, and settings such as exposure compensation and ISO can be more easily viewed on the electronic viewfinder. (The terms and explanations of SLT quoted from www.techradar.com).
