Unfortunately, wireless flash on the A77 was still too slow, well over 100ms, even when using electric first curtain. Under 100ms is preferred, and approaching 140ms can be a major lazy eyes problem.

Preflash to exposure flash delay:

A700
F56, WL: 108

A77, electronic first curtain on
F56, WL: 155

Agreed. I was horrified when I did some passport shots for my daughter - unuseable due to lazy eye. It's back to 5D days! The A700 virtually cured the problem, and I assumed that the A77 would (if anything) be quicker again. It's rendered my flash set-up (2 x 56, 1 42) pretty well useless and I'm going to have to start saving up for studio flashes. If I could even fire the existing ones as slaves I could set the exposure manually, but that doesn't seem to be a possibility.
