As soon as I moved from Konica Minolta Dynax 5D to the Sony A700, I realized that my photographs improved dramatically. The new Sony is designed for the photo enthusiast. What I like most: fantastic grip, high-resolution LCD, big and bright viewfinder, dual Compact Flash and Memory Stick Pro Duo card slots, image stabilization and easy menu. The A700 has a wonderful combination of quality and shooting features.

A great jump in term of quality between A100 and A700. The DSLR is more demanding in term of adjustments. The management of the noise is exceptional. The details obtained are impressive. Really happy of this upgrade.

I recently upgrade my Konika-Minolta 5D to Sony A700. This is the easiest camera and rear LCD shows you all the important settings at one time in large easy to read format. This is, with the earlier purchased Sony 1,4/50 and Zeiss 3,5-4,5/16-80, perfect camera for meny years every-day use - enougth high sensitivity, fast AF, numerous capable features / options you can acquire easily and good in hand. Enought good too for jpg shooting in very sophisticated situations.

It will be nice to have the well designed as small as possible "street/path bag" for camera and 1 medium size extra lens (something like 1,4/50), to have free hands and neck, which can be carried on the coxa/gird, not only on the shoulder. As Sony has now 5 models of DSLR with the approximately same dimentions, this bag can be the perfect accessory (something like 230x200x130 mm).

Comparing A700 to Canon/Nikon


I am comparing the Alpha 700 against Canons and Nikons I have had.

Construction. Generally very good and well put together. It has the usual plastic battery and card covers, but, a negative against its C&N peers, the back is plastic - only the front, top and base are alloy. The flash also feels a bit flimsier than usual.

Features. No live view - but I knew that and don't miss it. The DRO is very interesting - but really only applies to jpegs. I like the single screen on the back and quick navi - this works well. Very flexible and just the right size and weight with the 16-105. No problems with dust bunnies yet (I hope the camera can't hear thiis!) and Super Steady Shot seems very effective.

I bought it with the 16-105. I think IQ is OK - not fully decided yet. Again DRO can have a major (positive) impact on contrasty scenes. Hangs onto highlights OK. I find it a little more saturated and contrasty than I am used to - but that's just my learing curve. Not sure I fully understand the difference between raw and jpeg from this camera yet - especially around DRO and noise reduction. Not too much experience with high ISO - so can't comment on this. With so many pixels it is even more important to print than simply pixel peep.

Ease of use - no real problems - see below about the software. The camera seems fast, comfortable and easy to use. Neat and well balanced with the 16-105. I find the menus clear. Viewfinder nice and bright.

VFM - OK - I got a pricematch and cashback - Sony were very fast here. I suspect that as the market heats up it will get even more competitive and suspect that the A700 may depreciate faster than a C/N. I note that fixed FL Minolta lenses are increasing in price - no surprise here!

A700 after Nikon


This is my third DSLR after Nikon D1X and D40x.

I tried my friends Canon (400D, 20D, 5D) before deciding against them and jump ship to Sony.

Images straight out of the a700 shows very accurate color rendition with good tonal range. I really like all the buttons on the body so that you don't have to dig through the menu system. Camera is pretty fast and battery life seems to be good. Please buy vertical grip, it is a must on a700 - match made in haven. I had little bit of back focussing issue, but it was promptly fixed by Sony Canada. Put on 50mm 1.4 or any macro lens and you won't need scanner anymore. two thumbs up from me.

Below are my thoughts on why I chose the HX100V: 1) I need a new camera with video. I wondered about getting a DSLR but then found a bridge camera to be more covenant (as far as size), flexible (as far as features, especially the zoom range) and more affordable. 2) I wanted a camera with tilt screen since I’ll be taking angled pictures and video. This feature does make a difference for me. 3) I hate Sony’s exclusivity to only their memory card. This camera did not have this problem; I can use non-Sony memory cards. 4) The 3-inch screen resolution on this camera was much greater than other bridge cameras. In my thinking, I’m using this screen all the time, so why not get the best resolution. 5) I didn’t care much for the RAW feature. I take pictures and don’t do much editing afterwards. Now here are my thoughts after using the camera for one weekend, with the disclaimer that I’m not an ardent photographer. First, my positive thoughts so far: 1) I love the zoom on this camera. Wow! With smart zoom and image stabilizer turned on, it can zoom up to 216x’s. Granted the picture gets a bit fuzzy around 50-60x’s but it’s still recognizable. The zoom makes it feel like a camera that the FBI would use! 2) The movie mode worked well. Clear to see on my TV and great sound. Again, the tilt screen-option helps tremendously. 3) I love the background defocus feature. Awesome! The pictures look professional. You do have to keep the right distance in order for it to work. But even if it doesn’t work, it’ll still take a normal picture with a message letting you know that it didn’t work. Make sure you follow the instruction on the screen that tells you how far away from the subject you need to be. As you zoom in further, the distance from the subject increases. It takes some practice. 4) The size and weight are manageable. You can’t fit it in your pocket, but at least you can carry it around all day without much hassle (plus you look like a better photographer since you have a bigger camera ). 5) I used the camera for most of the day on Saturday. Battery needed to be recharged at night. Granted, I did not use the GPS feature at all. But with normal use, the battery holds its charge. 6) The smile detection feature is great! I turn on this feature and it automatically takes a shot when the subject smiles (the level of smile can be adjusted as well). This will especially be awesome for taking baby pictures. Plus, you can set up the timer on the camera to take a shot when one or two subjects are seen. It’s great to take self portraits with my wife. 7) Panoramic view is useful at times. It’s easy to use once you try it a couple of times. Lower light shots are decent on this camera. It helps to set it to Superior Intelligent mode where it will take a few shots and combine them (note: file size is not much larger when doing this). The pictures are definitely brighter than my older cameras in low light. In addition, the back-light feature on Screen mode produces brighter pictures. Below are my negative thoughts (after only one weekend of using it): 1) It’s not a SLR camera. So don’t expect SLR pictures. I’ve compared it to my old Sony point and shoot camera. The same pictures side-by-side shows some differences, but it’s not major. The value of the HX100V is being able to tinker with setting to get a better picture (though I’m still learning this as I go). Plus, the intelligent mode does a better job in adjusting the settings. And most importantly, the zoom and extra features (defocus, smile detection, panoramic, video, etc.) sets it apart. 2) The manual ring in the front was hardly used. I admit, this feature was very attractive before buying. But after using it, I’m more comfortable using the regular zoom. The manual focus feature seems less useful since the camera already does an awesome job of focusing automatically. Plus, if want to adjust the focus manually (when for instance shooting two subjects behind each other), I’ve found using the “tracking focus” easier. To do this, push the middle “control button”, which will pull up a box where you place the object to focus on. Then push the middle button again and it locks this object in focus. Furthermore, you can use the dedicated “focus” button on the camera to do some manual focusing as well. So in essence the manual focus ring is not as responsive when compared to SLR cameras, since it’s electronic. But with other options available, it’s not as a big deal. 3) I wish the “custom” button on the camera would have more options. For me, it would have been great to program the “defocus” feature to this button. This way I can activate it with a push of a button instead of going to Screen mode and choosing it, or the MR mode. 4) It’s very easy to leave your fingerprints on the screen. I’d probably have to do some research…

The way to find out who the owner of a Sprint or Verizon cell phone number is, is actually quite simple - you just need to do a Verizon reverse phone lookup or Sprint reverse phone lookup on the site of a reliable reverse phone lookup directory.
