Comments about Sony Sony DSLR-A700 a (alpha) Digital SLR Camera Kit with 18-70mm Lens, 12.24 MP, Interchangeable Lens.:
I have a lot of Minolta equipment that will work with this model. Reason for me buying it. Plus I'm very satisfied with my Minoltas. Shot over 300 pictures last month using a 24-105 Minolta "D" lens. Worked great. Also used my 5600HD flash. Aside from a little loose on the camera mount it too worked great. I'm very satisfied so far. Was waiting for a discount to come along and it did.

Comments about Sony Sony DSLR-A700 a (alpha) Digital SLR Camera Kit with 18-70mm Lens, 12.24 MP, Interchangeable Lens.:
fantastic camera in the tradition of the minolta SLRs (the current sony line is a revival of the icon minolta TM that sold out to sony)fantastic magnesium ally built, intuitive menus and controls, sensor based stabilization: all lenses WILL be stabilized as opposed to Canon and Nikon.Used extensively for travel, portraits, macro, landscape with great results. Takes old minolta lenses that can be found for relatively cheap on [...]and are of top quality! (the kit lens is not so good but still very usable. If offered the choice and the budget, I would buy the camera only and buy a better quality lens separately)great camera and at this price I am considering buying a second one - have no interest in the pixel battle and I am not looking froward to get a camera with ridiculous file sizes to clog my computer... shooting RAW at 12MP allows me to print posters!

my friend and I purchased two sony alpha A-700 three mounts ago. We do a lot of camera work out in th e field with nature. We both had grate shots ,then for soom reasionmy shots started to get foggy. we traided lens and mine still was out of focus. when I digital them up to 60-to 100% for the money it is not worth it. twice I have purchased a sony camera and had problums with both of them. never again
