I have the SONY SLT A77v. Unmodified but it seems quite happy at quite high ISO, 6400, very low noise plus I have yet to see amp glow on any frame.
I have a second A77 body, result of an insurance claim and water damage that lacks a few buttons working but still works. I may look at modifying it one day but at present it copes quite well with LP and 30-60 sec exposures and is a 24 megapixel image.
Biggest issue is lack of support for a 'liveview' function and any remote capability. DSS 3.3.3 will work with the Sony ARW format though
