Abstract: All the fanfare surrounding the introduction of the Sony NEX-7 caught the attention of many photographers interested in a small camera capable of high-quality results, myself included. I duly entered the pre-order lotte...
Abstract: The Sony A850 and A900 are full frame cameras that pack in 24.6-megapixels on that big sensor. The cameras appear at the top-end of the Alpha system line up. At first blush, the A850 appears almost identical to the pricier Sony A900. After delving d...
Abstract: Sony claim to have cemented their place in the digital SLR market with the Alpha 900 and while they’ve got a long way to go before they take any serious stranglehold on the monopoly that in reality belongs to Canon and Nikon, it is fair to say that...
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 op...
The best image quality weve ever seen from a DSLR shooting in good to moderate lighting; beautiful viewfinder with 100 percent coverage; great price for such a high-resolution, handsome camera; gorgeous 3-inch LCD could be the best screen on a camera yet...
Noisy images at ISO 800-1600; unacceptable noise levels at ISO 3200-6400; no Live View mode; no HD movie mode; lacks large stable of lenses available for Nikon and Canon cameras

Abstract: Boasting incredibly high resolution for a 35mm-size D-SLR, the A900 features a full-frame sensor and some unique technology. Sony developed an Exmor 24x36mm CMOS chip for this camera; it’s packed with 24.6 million effective pixels but they’re quite la...
The Sony A900 is not simply the highest-resolution DSLR out there – its much more than that. If youve read through the Ease of Use and Image Quality sections of this review, you will know that I liked working with this camera a lot. Its viewfinder i...

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