The Sony α99 ( SLT-A99 ) is a SLT camera housing from Sony with A-bayonet and the successor of the models α900 and α850 . It is Sony's third model with a full-frame sensor and was presented at photokina in autumn 2012.

With the Alpha 99, Sony addresses the ambitious to professional photographer. In contrast to the Alpha 77 , it has a small image sensor, a fully controllable audio input, and offers the Quick Navi-Plus operating concept, with which settings can be made much more directly.

In September 2016, Sony presented the successor model Sony alpha 99 II at the photokina trade fair , which has a slightly higher frame rate (12 frames per second), an image sensor with a significantly higher resolution (42.2 megapixels) and the option of 4K videos is equipped.
