Once DxOMark has tested both sensors, we'll know something. Right now, it is not "clear" at all.
Originally posted by elho_cid In 12fps mode A77 has focus and exposure locked. So any regular SLR can do the same by simply liftng the mirror.
Where have you got this information from?
The A77 locks focus when you set it to single focus mode.
In continuous focus mode, however, the AF will track during the 12fps.
It would be crazy to not exploit the fact that the AF sensor is not blinded by a flopping mirror.
EDIT: From the
Dpreview Preview:
"As with the implementation in previous SLT models, there are some limitations placed on the amount of exposure control you can take with the A77 if AF is to be maintained in the 12fps and video modes."
So there are limitations regarding exposure modes in the 12fps and video modes when AF is engaged, but clearly one can use continuous AF in these modes.
