Sony Alpha DSLR-A900 (body only)

By (cnet.com)Read the full review

High resolution ; in-body image stabilization ; nice viewfinder ; great accessory system

Can't lock focus-point selector ; Intelligent Preview button much too easy to hit accidentally ; some subpar aspects of performance ; no Live View ; loud mirror

A good first try at a pro-level camera, the Sony Alpha DSLR-A900 has the high resolution but unfortunately lacks some of the performance and usability you expect from a model in its price range.

"Astonishing photo quality. I couldn't be happier!"

By gregsoc (cnet.com)Read the full review

I don't see how you can go wrong with this pu... 

I've taken a little over a thousand photos with the A900 to date and I couldn't be happier with this camera. Whether shooting at night, low- light, or bright lighted conditions, the A900 has performed admirably. Works perfectly with Minolta G lenses.

None to date. Autofocusing is good with my Minolta G series lenses. I've had no issues with the image processing speed (and I shoot almost exclusively in RAW). Image color reproduction is excellent. Detail is sharp at the highest ISO I use (800).
