Low noise at high ISOs (excels at low-light shooting). Fast operation. HDMI out. Includes a remote control.

Expensive for what you get. Soft images. Dull design. LCD doesn't support Live View. No video capability.

Sony makes a real statement to the competitor with the Sony Alpha 700 digital SLR camera. Time to do some serious business! Firstly the housing is perfectly finished and the camera has an ideal hand-fit. The somewhat heavier weight is obvious and adds...
