The Sony Alpha DSLR-A700 digital SLR is a complex, well-made camera with tons of controls. The A700 takes exceptionally sharp, well-exposed shots. First impressions of the Alpha DSLR-A700, Sonys £1,124 inc VAT, 12Mp digital single-lens reflex camer...
With its sharp, 12Mp imaging and with more exposure controls than most photographers - amateur or professional - will likely use, the beefy and finely designed Sony Alpha DSLR-A700 rises to nearly pro-level photography, making it well worth its £1,12...

The a700 is a 12 megapixel camera with a CMOS sensor, tested here with an optional 24-70mm Zeiss lens with constant f2.8 maximum aperture. There is in-camera image stabilisation and automatic dust removal. It has eye-proximity start-up – when an eye...
Picture quality is consistently superb. The camera itself is responsive, producing well exposed, high resolution images. The lens focuses quickly and is mechanically superior in every way. The constant maximum aperture of f2.8 is the mark of a high cla...
The only reservation we have is to do with the price. $2000 for the body is a bargain, several hundred dollars less than its obvious rival, the Nikon D300. But the price of avoiding the indifferent Sony standard lenses in favour of the superb Zeiss/Son...
