My experience with the Sony Alpha 700

December 22nd, 2007 - 12:56:20 PM:

On September 6th, 2007, Sony has released the Alpha 700, a DSLR that can be regarded the legitimate successor of the Konica Minolta 7D. Since my 7D showed some signs of age (occasional symptoms of "first frame black", missing screen protector and thumb rubber), I bought a A700 in November as a replacement.

This is not a full review. There are many of these out there. I have linked to some of them here. Rather than listing all of the camera's features I will give my impressions of the Alpha 700 after some time of real life use and address a few points that I think are overlooked in most reviews. I don't try to be objective or fair, I'm stating my opinion. I'm comparing it mainly to the 7D and 7, so this review will be most useful for owners of these cameras. I never used the A100, which already had some of the improvements that also went into the A700.
