Why is it that a older camera costs more than an a77v


Recommended Posts

Sony really dropped the ball regarding remote camera control (RCC or tethering if you prefer) for the A77 model. I never owned it but I recall reading complaints from not very happy customers.

 

There is a 3rd party Android app for remote camera control for a number of Sony models including the A77II. You won't get live view on your device but at least you'll be able to gain more control than a cable release.

 

RCCDroid: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glensk.RCCDroid&hl=en

 

The basic app is free with an option to upgrade to the full version for a few bucks.

 

Even if Sony extended the basic A700 RCC app to work with the A77, you'd still be better off using RCCDroid in my experience. I used it quite often with my A700.

 

FWIW

It's a bummer but the Mk II is a much better camera and it tethers. So, the best advice would be to sell the Mk I and get a Mk II.
