Sony a (alpha) DSLR-A700K

...for you today is the Sony A700, this was the top of the line Sony DSLR until the recent release of the A900 and it is an expensive piece of kit but one that will produce not just great images but professional images if used correctly. It has many functions and settings and would no doubt be very confusing to a novice but if you have used a beginner level DSLR then you would or should be able to pick up how this camera works very quickly. In previous ...
...how Sony are fairly new to the DSLR market but they are advancing quickly and are already for me one of if not the best manufacturer of DSLR cameras. Their range is very diverse and as they have taken a lot of the design including the lens fitments from the old Minolta brand, you can buy many second hand lenses and flashguns for these cameras, just as you can for the Canons and Nikons that have been around forever. The Sony DSLR range started out ...

Review of Sony a (alpha) DSLR-A700K

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.

Review of Sony a (alpha) DSLR-A700K

With great expectations i had bought this wonderful product, and it did not fail my expectations. First i will tell you about the image quality which was excellent, exceptionally sharp and well exposed shots. The LCD is having a new CMOS sensor with an amazing LCD display with classic Minolta features like Eyestart AF sensor shift image stabilization and the alpha lens mount all in one compelling package. The color capturing capacity is excellent. ...
...lens is small and light and delivers decent image sharpness. The battery life was about average Sony's Info lithium technology which allows for an accurate feedback on the charge remaining. It has extensive expose controls. It has plenty of resolutions to make great looking enlargements straight from the camera. With the combination of the new sensor and image processor it offers a good noise reduction and great performance. The menu system is stylish ...
