The Sony alpha a700
Your thoughts, opinions, Pros Cons, photos post here. If you didn't read my market place post, I was going to sell my eqpt. to buy a Canon 40d but now my dad wants my a200 and he will buy the a700 for me in return.

Re: The Sony alpha a700
Well it's certainly good enough for a next step but, like anything else, it probably depends on what you want to do with it, Kris. All I have to compare it to is my old Minolta 7d and it outperforms that.
I mainly shoot in controlled conditions and it's plenty good for me, for now. Here's an example.  |

Re: The Sony alpha a700
I shoot with an A700. I like it a lot. Very satisfied. But that's all subjective.
Everything recent in my gallery (link in my sig) was taken with it. A few of those were with the A100, but not many and nothing recent. |

Re: The Sony alpha a700
Kris, pretty much everything here, ront's photos- powered by SmugMug , was taken with the A700. I also like the camera a lot.
Here is one example.  Ron |

Re: The Sony alpha a700
I also have the A700, for not a full year yet. It is my first DSLR. I love it and am very happy with it, but I don't have anything to compare it to so of course very subjective. The alpha's are all very nice cameras but I think the A700 gives you everything you could want and need, as well as use in a 'prosumer' camera. Like all Sony's they need to smooth out the noise issues, check my flickr out for lots of ISO 2500 - 4000 images, and can go to 6400 but I havent. Another 1 to 1.5 FPS would be really nice, but there is always something or somemore of something that you always want. Plenty of custom setting options, and user control features. A neat 'bonus' is that you can put in a CF card and a pro duo memory stick in the body at same time and toggle back and forth. Rumors abound of a new model release before the end of the year, so something to think about.

Re: The Sony alpha a700
I was a Minolta user during film days. While I am sorry that the brand is no more, I am pleased to see what Sony is doing. That a 700 looks like a fine camera. Cheers, Bill P.
