Sony Alpha DSLR-A900 (body only)

By (cnet.com)

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.

Sony Alpha A900 DSLR Review

By cgarrard (alphamountworld.com)

When deciding to write a review on the A900, I realized that this camera has already been reviewed, previewed, and examined from many different media and photography sources. So, instead of writing the stereotypical format review where I would just ...

Sony Alpha A900

By Steve Morgenstern (digitalcamerainfo.com)

The Sony A900 is the company's powerful attempt to compete with the big boys with a full-frame $2999, 24.6-megapixel resolution SLR. There are some features notably absent, though, and our lab testing turned up problems with color accuracy and image ...

The 24.6-megapixel Sony A900 is a high-res, high-performance and high-priced camera, selling for $2999 for the body alone. There are several impressive specs, including maximum 5 frame per second burst shooting at full resolution and an excellent ...

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

By gregsoc (cnet.com)

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).

"CNET got this one wrong, it's a great camera!"

This is an excellent camera. The images are t... 

Highest resolution SLR for the lowest cost by far. Excellent image quality. Full frame built in anti shake for every lens you own, including primes like 50 mm.

The Nikon and Canon gang will tell you not to buy it because its name does not begin with N or C. Other than that, you can't go wrong.
