Nope. Actually my third. I have used A33 and A55. Back then still newbie and I think I was spoilt by A850!
Here's some pictures from Singapore Karting Competition Round 4 Day 1. I shot in RAW but adjusted the WB and Exposure and use back Camera Profile Vivid. I didn't do any noise reduction or sharpness to give a true representation of the sensor's prowess.

certain things are cheap. Batteries and leather case confirm cheap.
The Nex and ALpha batteries going for 70 plus. The leather case even best, without buying the rx100, its selling for $63.
The sony carl zeiss lenses are definitely cheaper, but unfortunately, there was a 30% price increase early this year, if not would have been much cheaper.
Just buy from any stores and make sure there is Hong Kong warranty. It usually a sticker stating Hong Kong warranty on the box. You have to bring the lenses or camera together with the receipt to Sony Service Centre at either Mongkok or Causeway Bay to get the international warranty certificate.
Yah, you just registered your warranty with MySony and selected the correct Sony shop that you bought from and the backend will do the warranty end date.
Does that Sony Store you bought from has more $19 battery for sale? I don't mind getting another one.

Great pictures so far being able to see the A99 being pushed to ISO 6400. It seems the one that is cropped has lots of background noise yah. Have you tried pushing it above 6400?

Nope have not tried it beyond ISO 6400 yet. I was using the auto ISO and it only range from ISO 100 to ISO 6400.
You can change that.

I see. Hope to see you doing a ISO test from 6400 onwards with the same pic but at different ISO RANGE. Want to know if the A99 can handle low light condition!

You can see the low light samples here . Sony Alpha A99 high iso test - a set on Flickr

Sony Singapore also had their own article on it from the F1 here.

Played with it at the Changi Airport a few days ago, $3626, and yesterday again in Yokohama. I am surprised I didn't like the EVF, it's hard to see details in dark areas and the resolution isn't good enough to see facial expressions in the distance. The image through the VF also seems to be smaller than through a full-frame OVF (compared it to Mark III and D800 in store). I could test the AF with the 28-75mm F2.8 only. I hope it's the lens because it was a tad slow for a camera with dedicated DPAF sensor (compared to the EF 24-105mm F4) and the sensitivity wasn't jaw dropping. There was also an issue with the startup time, even after the camera woke up again it took 2 sec or so every time before the AF worked.

What you meant by I can change that? The new additional features in Sony A99 is that they have auto ISO in Manual mode, but the range is between iSO 100 to 6400. I cannot find anywhere under settings to change this range. You know where to change it?

Hmm..not stated in the manual books as well? I dont own 1 but i do believe it can be changed...
I will be surprise if it cant.
Those are jpeg and looks like there are some form of noise reduction. The NR setting are (Normal/Low/Off). Comparing between a850 and a99's RAW file, it is seems to be around 2 to 3 stops improvement in term of noise.

Just check the manual. It can be done. Didn't have the time to go through the manual yet.
To change the automatic adjustment range in [AUTO]
When [AUTO] is selected, press right > on the multi selector, select [ISO AUTO Maximum] or [ISO AUTO Minimum], then select the desired range.
minimum is as low ISO 100 and maximum is as high as ISO 25600.
