Sony's new technologies do not forget presented. Like for example autofocus system that carries the dual AF. Dual AF focus system combines 19 points with phase detection autofocus sensor that can determine a continuous focus. As a result, Sony Alpha A99 can focus very quickly and accurately.

This new feature is suitable and can be used with a range of Sony lenses as Sony SAL2470Z, SAL2875, SAL50F14, SAL300F28G2, SAL70400G and SAL500F4G.

If you want to make a video or a movie, the Sony Alpha A99 is designed for optimal video recording. The camera is equipped with anti-noisy multi-controller on the front body, and 2 memory card slot that supports Memory Stick Pro Duo and SD / SDHC / SDXC. Both slots may be used directly in the recording video simultaneously. If one has the storage media is full, the camera will automatically switch to a second storage media without disturbing the camera to stop filming.

Sony Alpha A99 marketed in October 2012 with a price tag of U.S. $ 2,800 (body, without lens). The prices are quite competitive. You can compare it with other full frame cameras from Nikon and Canon.

*) SLT stands for "Single Lens Translucent", with the cameras incorporating TMT (Translucent Mirror Technology), a translucent mirror that allows roughly 70% of the light entering through the lens to pass directly through it and onto the imaging sensor, while a smaller amount, around 30% is reflected up to the camera's phase detection autofocus (AF) sensor. This means that the mirror, rather than flipping out of the way as in a traditional SLR camera, remains fixed in place, speeding up the time taken to record a shot and allowing for fast, full-time phase detection AF.
Other advantages of the design include less camera shake due to the mirror not moving, no viewfinder blackout during shooting, and settings such as exposure compensation and ISO can be more easily viewed on the electronic viewfinder. (The terms and explanations of SLT quoted from  www.techradar.com).

Once you see the comparison above,
I suggest you do not need to be affected by the debate on the forums, and other myths have you heard between Canon and Nikon.  

You must have a strong personal principle. You are going to be a user of the camera, so you have to be a master who had a strong belief, whether you will choose Canon or Nikon.

You are also free to choose another camera like the Pentax K-30 or other cameras like the Olympus E-5, Sony Alpha A77; you can even glance at the cameras manufactured by Sigma, SD 15 or SD1.
