      Sony Alpha A700

      By Andrew Kliem

      Pros: Sharp pictures, good noise control, colours well balanced, speedy operation, sensor based stabilisation

      Cons: Some minor chromatic aberration issues, no live view, no second LCD display

      Verdict: The Alpha A700 puts Sony firmly in contention with the other big SLR players with its combination of great image quality, a robust feature set and a sturdy design.

      Review summary: It's been almost two years since Konica Minolta pulled out of the photo business and transferred its entire camera division to Sony, and well over a year since the first Sony DSLR (the DSLR-A100) was announced. Two years is a long time in the digital ...

      Pros: Good detail at lower sensitivities, very slightly more than ten megapixels but no massive gain, Low noise at higher sensitivities although at the expense of detail (perhaps too much luminance NR), Excellent dynamic range at ISO 200 (more highlight ...

      Cons: High sensitivity noise reduction applied before RAW image is produced, Base sensitivity isn't ISO 100, this isn't directly indicated on the camera, Reducing noise reduction setting doesn't make enough difference (doesn't change on-chip NR?), Lack of ...

      Sony DSLR-A700

      By WDC Team

      Review summary: The 12.25-megapixel Sony Alpha A700 is the second digital SLR the Japanese electronics giant has launched and is aimed at the serious enthusiast.

      Pros: Fun to use, great handling, nice features, good images

      Cons: Top-plate buttons are fiddly, not much else

      Verdict: There's very little to complain about on the Sony Alpha 700. The time spent with it was an absolute pleasure - we found it very intuitive. Everything you need is easily to hand, so you can concentrate on picture taking rather than scrolling through ...

      Sony Alpha A700

      Review summary: Sony is serious about its SLRs. The A100 was a fair effort, with a resemblance to the Dynax 5D Sony inherited from its takeover of Konica Minolta, but the A700 is a whole new camera

      Pros: Good LCD, Improved overall spec, Decent value for money

      Cons: Supplied zoom lens not the best

      Verdict: The low noise, 5fps shooting, and build quality are awesome. Then you admire that amazing LCD. Then you begin to appreciate the depth, subtlety and richness of Sony's new sensor. The Nikon D300 had better be good, and Canon must be glad the 40D is ...
