The Sony Underdog

Advantages: Great features for low price, Great value for money
Disadvantages: Smaller range of Lenses than competitors

Sony a200 D-SLR camera Introduction This Sony a200 is the bottom of the range fully fledged entry level d-SLR from Sony. With prices now well below £300 could this be the camera for you to enter the next level of your photography? I believe it can. Offering a wide range of features, lenses and quality that has brought Sony where it is today, this camera will definitely be giving the bigger names something to worry about. The ...
...more than 800 as the Sony sensor does not cope well above ISO 400. If you plan on regularly using a high ISO this may not be the right model for you and it may be of considerable benefit for you to think more over to the Canon entry-levels as even these cope excellently with ISO for example the slightly pricier Canon 450d. All of the pictures taken with these modes can also be achieved by using manual control. This is one of the features that allow ...

Review of Sony a (alpha) DSLR-A200K

Superb entry-level to mid-level DSLR for everyone

Advantages: High Megapixel count, Anit-shake, Autofocus
Disadvantages: Not found any yet!

This was not my first DSLR but it is going to be hard to get me off this model. Superb picture quality and very easy setup for even the very basic of users. The size of the camera and weight mean that it is very easy for anyone to operate. I tried many other brands of DSLR before this one and I just couldn't hold them steady with one hand. There is also a very good and simple range of optional extras that you can buy with this camera, lens (from ...
...I also highly recommend a tripod for getting those perfectly still shots. A very high Megapixel count (14.2), anti-shake & autofocus built right into the camera, not into the lenses making it very quick to focus - especially useful when shooting sporting events or fast-moving objects. ...

Review of Sony a (alpha) DSLR-A350K

This thing makes me look good.

Advantages: Way too many to mention in such a small space
Disadvantages: Screen is very easily scratched

I'm not exactly the best photographer in the world. I've been interested in taking photos for years now and have struggled never knowing which camera to buy because of all the jargon used, ISO, WB, aperture; the list goes on. After using the fuji S9500 for the past 3 years I felt it was time to upgrade and so my next hunt for the right camera went ahead. Since I had used that camera I felt I was ready to upgrade to a proper DSLR camera and after ...
...the fuji brand I decided to look elsewhere, this is when the Alpha 700 caught my eye. I'd say it took me about 4 months slowly researching all the specification and what it all meant before I finally took the plunge and forked out for it and I haven't regretted that day since. Probably not fair to say because it's only been 4 weeks since I got this camera but in that short time I have been able to take some stunning shots with just the most basic ...

Review of Sony a (alpha) DSLR-A700K

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-R1

Advantages: Lens, viewfinder, picture quality
Disadvantages: Big, heavy, limited zoom, discontinued but still available

...inside the DSC-R1). But presumably Sony thought that a completely new range of cameras and lenses in 2006 was premature, when there was still so much money to be made with DSLRs. However I am glad to see that interchangeable lens cameras are moving slowly into the 21st century with live swivelable viewfinders as on Olympus and Sony ...

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-R1

Sony alpha A100

Advantages: Stlish digital slr
Disadvantages: sony customer service

At first glance the sony alpha a100 feals slightyly plastickly, but this is partly due to the fact that the body itself is made out of plastic, never the less the sony a100 is a fantastic digital sslr for the first time photograhper. Although it is slightly dissapointing that sony has not made a vertical grip for this product, overall the smooth shiny feal to the sony alpha a100, feals nice, and the shutter button fits snugguly into your right hand, ...
...when i accidently smashed my sony alpha 3 days after purchasing it, i was devistated, but not to worry, i was soon on to sony, and was relieved that there was a set price of £114 but i had to forck out a lumply sum of £360 to get it fixed. There isnt realy a fixed price and the level of custumer service was dreadful. I would still recomend this camera to anyone intrested in purchasing a new camera, the sony a100 is already fighting with its competetris ...
