I inherited my Sony SLT A77 from a friend, and it was a great camera he left me. The A77 is an excellent dslr style APSC sensor camera. I had three models the Sony A77, A65v, and A580. The A77 was definitely the best, and since it was the top-of-the-line in APSC sensor cameras, it should have been. It was updated to the Sony A77ii. Sony has stopped making its dslr and SLT line of cameras and has completely moved to mirrorless. Some of the lenses can still be used with an adapter.
I used several lenses (listed below) and Sony’s vertical grip. The grip felt great in my large hands, but the Sony A77 sometimes seemed to have trouble identifying the second battery. I had a Sony dual battery charger, but I usually used my Wattson Duo charger instead. The three dslr/slt cameras I had, and the Sony DSC-HX20V point-and-shoot camera all suffered from a display protection cover that delaminated, causing annoying bubbles to form. It isn’t a hard problem to fix, but it is not easy to make it look good.
