Abstract: Not so fast, buster -- this is a preview! Ill fill in this section when I post the final review in the weeks to come. Photo Gallery Check out the DSLR-A900s photo quality in our gallery! The gallery will be fairly large by the time the review is pos...
Abstract: The system is a bit limited, but there are two new lenses, a 16-35/2.8 and a 70-400/4-5.6 both with SSM focussing. The new HVL-F58AM flash looks good too; with it\'s unique swivelling head the problems of shooting vertically are overcome by the simple solution of tilting the whole flash head up into a vertical position - very clever...
Abstract: Sony A900 and Canon 5D MKII The New Market Leaders Duke it Out Canon 5D MKII – Full Review Months Late Though I had a very early look at the Canon 5D MKII back in September, 2008, at the time I focused on the cameras video capabilities. Since then my ...
Abstract: Sony A900 Field Review And Then There Were Three I always have a soft spot in my heart for the underdog. Its all too easy to back an established winner. Boring even. The new kid on the block often needs a friend, though if he turns out to be a jerk, ...
Abstract: Sony's much-anticipated assault on the top-end of the D-SLR market is spear-headed by a camera that's a fascinating combination of traditional styling and state-of-the-art technologies. Report by Paul Burrows.Beyond a level of D-SLR that's probably best r...
Comfortable to use, manual controls for metering and focus modes, fast, full-frame sensor, huge resolution
Noticeable noise at ISO speeds above 400
Anyone looking to make the step up to a full-frame D-SLR should make a point of trying out the Sony A900. It’s a great camera to use and its performance on location and in the studio was excellent. ...
High resolution, In-body image stabilisation, Nice viewfinder, Great accessory system
Cant lock focus-point selector, Intelligent Preview button much too easy to hit accidentally, Some sub-par 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. ...
Abstract: Sony A900 DSLR This is a full-frame DSLR with a 24.6-megapixel CMOS sensor - currently the most pixels on a 35mm-sized sensor. The camera is beautifully made with a luxurious feel to all controls. Italso feels solid, with extensive environmental ...
The resolving power of this camera/lens combination is simply breathtaking. What it means in every day use is that images can be cropped down to small sections and still retain sharp detail. Dynamic range is very good and exposures are generally spot o...
The camera/lens combination is heavy. Do cameras really need to have such mass in order to be indestructible? High ISO images are not as clean as from the Nikon and Canon equivalent cameras.
Sony tell us that this is not their professional camera. It is intended for the well-heeled amateur who is either a fan of the brand or has some legacy Minolta lenses in the bag. So it sells against the Nikon D700 and the Canon 5DII – formidable opp...
Abstract: In its new flagship DSLR, the A900, Sony has eschewed gimmicks like live view and video recording and instead focused upon producing a camera with real appeal to professional photographers. Minolta film camera users whove been eagerly awaiting a full...
