Sony Alpha A700 Digital SLR Review

DCResource have reviewed the new 12 megapixel Sony Alpha A700 Digital SLR - it's the second model released by Sony, after the A100 was released after the take-over of the Konica Minolta digital SLR division, and as such is the new version of the 7D. The A700 features a 12.2 megapixel CMOS sensor, alpha lens mount, a weather resistant body, super steady shot (anti-shake sensor), dust reduction system, 5fps, 11 point focus, 3" screen, and dynamic range optimiser. The A700 is available for £889 with kit lens:

"Photo quality was excellent in most respects. The A700 took photos with pleasing, saturated colors. Photos are a bit on the soft side, which is typical of D-SLRs, though that's easy enough to fix if it bothers you. Noise isn't really a problem when you're shooting JPEGs -- instead, you'll get noise reduction artifacting, but not until ISO 1600 and above. If you're shooting at those sensitivities, you will get more detail out of your photos by shooting RAW instead."
