The A900 was introduced 4 years earlier than the A77 and that is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras come with the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before diving straight into a in depth comparison, below is a concise synopsis of how the A900 matches up against the A77 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Sony Alpha DSLR-A900 & Sony SLT-A77. The whole galleries are viewable at Sony A900 Gallery & Sony A77 Gallery.

In case you're intending to lug around your camera regularly, you are going to need to think about its weight and volume. The Sony A900 offers physical dimensions of 156mm x 117mm x 82mm (6.1" x 4.6" x 3.2") along with a weight of 895 grams (1.97 lbs) while the Sony A77 has sizing of 143mm x 104mm x 81mm (5.6" x 4.1" x 3.2") and a weight of 732 grams (1.61 lbs).

Sometimes, it can be hard to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements purely by checking specifications. The visual here will provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the A900 and A77.

Plainly, both the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The A900 using its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Sony A900 will give you more detail using its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older A900 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
