The Sony Alpha 700



I know some people will just drool over the 12.2MP camera and at AUD$2.3K, this may seem a little exhorbitant for the amateur photographer but if you know what you like....



A recent article carried by WHAT DIGITAL CAMERA for its Nov print has a 2-page spread of the Alpha 700 - pointing out that the great innovation coming from Sony is that images go through what it calls an Exmor sensor reducing the noise level at its source resulting in a clearer image. It then passes through 2 more stages of noise reduction and a higher ISO NR is applied when shooting at ISO 1600 or 3200. On top of that, it offers 11 point AF with a centre dual-cross for faster performance apparently 5fps!


A rival to the Canon 40D and D300 but somewhat pricey to buy in Australia.

The Dec 07 of the Magazine will see it tested.

That link article was intense. I can't wait to see those pictures.

I didn't know Minolta sold their business to Sony. See you learn something new everyday.
