Product Rating: 4.45 star(s) New Zealand PC World Magazine > Sony Alpha 700 digital SLR

Comments:
Sony's first foray into the world of digital SLR cameras, the A100, was a solid effort let down by a comparatively poor sensor that couldn't deliver good images across a wide enough ISO spectrum. With the A700, Sony has been considerably more ambitious, p

Review Verdict: The A700 certainly feels the goods when you use it. Buttons are well placed, and despite using the rear LCD for displaying settings rather than a top-mounted LCD, as is the fashion now, the A700 still allows you to access most critical features via button

Comments:
Sony's capable DLSR is full-featured enough for pros, at a price serious hobbyists can actually afford.

Review Verdict: The A700 offers great image quality at a good price. As with all DSLRs, a purchase commits you to that camera's family of lenses and other accessories. If you are comfortable with Sony's current offerings or have an investment in Minolta alpha lenses, it

Product Rating: 3 star(s) Sony Alpha DSLR-A700

Comments:
Sony has released the latest product in its Alpha line, the Alpha DSLR-A700. With some important upgrades and a number of changes, the DSLR-A700 aims at a different type of photographer than the type that would use the DSLR-A100K. Hoping to lure advanced

Review Verdict: The Sony Alpha DSLR-A700 is close to being a strong competitor in the DSLR market. It can produce good images, but it's obvious when using the camera that Sony does not have the legacy of interface development that Canon and Nikon have. The DSLR-A700 has

The Sony Alpha DSLR-A700 digital SLR is a complex, well-made camera with tons of controls. The A700 takes exceptionally sharp, well-exposed shots.

Comments:
Sony's recent entry into the DSLR market has been greeted fairly positively. Its first effort, the A100, is on our A List, and its second, this A700, hopes to repeat the same trick. But the competition is tough, as its price pitches it squarely against Ca

Review Verdict: The new Sony A700 is a beefy SLR with a 12.2 megapixel CMOS sensor designed for the photo enthusiast. The sensor was made by Sony specifically for this camera, according to the company. The Sony A700's sensor has a 1.5x crop factor, the same as most other

Sony Alpha A700 Preview

Comments:
Alpha A700 takes on Nikon D300 and Canon EOS 40D. Hands-on preview with sample shots.

Review Verdict: Central to the new camera's specification is a 12.24-megapixel CMOS sensor code-named "Exmor", a radical departure from the 10MP CCD sensor of the A100, and similar (or even identical?) to the Sony-supplied sensor in the Nikon D300. The sensor features on

Review Verdict: One feature you won't find on the A700 is live view. Three months ago I don't think anyone would care, but with the introduction of the Canon EOS-40D, Nikon D300, and Panasonic DMC-L10, the A700 seems a bit out-of-place
