Sony Alpha 700 digital camera review by What Digital Camera magazine www.whatdigitalcamera.com More camera reviews www.whatdigitalcamera.com

Man I love this camera!
Who needs a nikon when you can do the job just as good with this a700 which is 2/3rds of the price?
By the way; the Sony 11-18 ulrta wide is an awesome lens, a must-have for the versitile photographer.
Just bought one of these (£549, body only) and tomorrow I’m off to Chester Zoo to try it out
a 700
ermm relaxxxdems go for nikonD3!
im not sure which cam i should buy… either the alpha 700 or canon eos 500d..
the only reason i am considering this camera is beacuse even the cheaper lens’s feel very well made
i know a900 out, but too expensive for me. i expecting something like a700…cuz theres been rumor new one coming soon
alpha 900 was out ages ago.£1900 in uk):
any idea when the newer alpha coming out ? a800 ? a750 ?
so thanks i am going to convert it on website into my currency thanks for the information but do you if ican buy it from africa whee i am
when i bought my D300 it cost me just short of £1200 just for the body but now they are around £750 to £900 used but a great tip would be to go to an Ebay shop for a new one you can get some real good deals from there
guy if someone fhas a nikon D70S just tell me about the price new or after use one
that d300 cost how much? you say it has live view ?
how much do alpha 700 cost with the lens you us in the video it it 28–80mm i want to know fastly i really need a camera
how much does that cost you boy with the lenses pleaze it’s important to me
Since the Version 4 firmware update for the A700, it more than matches the D300 in RAW performance, they do share the same sensor after all.
Thanks
HEy n40798, I have an a100 and I find the super steady shot very good but the only downside is if you’re using a heavy lens there’s no in-viewfinder-I.S.
omfg!!! haha just hilarious
Good choice. We did a group test of the D300, Alpha 700 and Olympus E3 recently (the Canon 40D is not in the same price bracket) and the D300 comfortably won, though they’re all excellent and have their own special qualities.
I found this review very informative and thank you for posting it. I have been all over the place deciding what camera to buy the 40D, D300 or the Alfa 700. After watching yuor reviews on all three cameras i have decided to go with the D300 mainly down to 1)live view mode 2)the 51 point focus 3)the 12Mp 4)HDMI out need i go on. I can’t take anything away from the other two and think that it is down to the user to decide what is best for them! enjoy it what ever you get
I prefer in IS in the body. Every lens becomes IS and less expensive. Unless you’re a pro I don’t think you can tell the difference
Are there any down-sides about having the image stabilization in the camera instead of in the lense?
anyone notice at 7:04 theres a book called “fetish girls”????:D
got this pearl of a dslr! i just love love it!
u can get some excellent lenses for the sony/minolta mount!
