    • Product Rating: 5 star(s) Sony Alpha 100 SLR gets close to ideal for pro-sumer
      by ironmanstamford, Jul. 16, 2007
    • Pros: Compact, good handling, multi-featured, relatively light
    • Cons: Very complicated seetings and displays; kit lenses so-so
    • Has Owned Product: 12 days
    • Comments:
      A well-built, full-featured pro-sumer digital camera for the enthusiast, particularly a vacationing one who doesn't want to lug around a heavy monster. It seems well designed and performs the same, with almost too many choices of settings. The only lense...

    • Comments:
      I bought the DSC-T3 when it first came out at $599 because it was one of the first to have a 2.5 inch screen. I expected a well built camera that would last. From new it gave me spots at random on some pictures. At 18 months the flash failed. A week la...

    • Product Rating: 4 star(s) Alpha 100
      by Joanne Carter
    • Pros: Built-in camera-shake system makes every lens behave as if image-stabilized, and the Minolta A-mount provides access to a large legacy of Minolta lenses.
    • Cons: Not the all-new camera we were hoping for, the Alpha inherits some of the less ambitious specs of the earlier Konica Minolta 5D, such as the closely grouped 9-point AF system, sluggish operation, and only average low-light performance.
    • Comments:
      The Alpha 100 is Sony's first digital SLR. Based on assets from Konica Minolta's photographic business, and the 10.2mp camera reflects the collaboration between the two companies. ...

    • Product Rating: 4.5 star(s) Sony A100 Review
      by Online Shopper
    • Comments:
      The Sony A100 is Sony's first foray into the digital SLR market. Born out of a collaboration with Konica Minolta (who have subsequently exited the camera business), the Sony A100 builds on the existing Maxxum/Dynax lens mount with the re-christened Alpha...
