The Sony Alpha 100 has become one of the best-selling D-SLRs, so that's a great recommendation in itself. Part of this has been the great range of features and, of course, the Sony brand itself, but mostly it's down to the amazing value for money t...
Although the Alpha 100 wasn´t considered to offer much at it´s launch, Sony has come up with a winner. Whether or not the modern user simply trusts anything with the Sony logo on or not, the great price of the camera means that if you are looking f...

The Sony DSLR-A100 is a 10.2 megapixel single lens reflex digital camera, evolved from the Konica Minolta DSLR technology acquired by Sony last year. The KM heritage is evident in the fact that Minolta auto-focus lenses will work with the Sony. Constr...
The image stabilisation is achieved in the camera body rather than in the lens which means that supplementary lenses may be cheaper and even the legacy Minolta lenses benefit from the vibration reduction.
The kit lens is not up to the quality of the camera body. We would be looking seriously at buying the Sony body and the Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T 18–80 zoom.
The Sony A100 feels just right in the hand, is very responsive and is intuitive to use. Anyone with Konica Minolta auto-focus lenses in their bag should look seriously at the Sony, it is a fine product of the marriage of the two companies.

Very high image quality. Unlimited continuous shooting in JPEG mode. Very fast CF throughput. Great battery life.
Noise levels at ISO 800 and above. Proprietary hot-shoe design. Some users will not like the camera?s ?plasticky? feel. No option of a vertical grip.

Good ergonomics, excellent resolution, effective in-camera image stabilisation; good battery life; big viewfinder.
Some minor control layout issues; autoexposure very biased towards underexposure; autofocus could be better; feels very plastic.
In the end, the A100 is a solid first effort by Sony in the DSLR market. Truth be told, the faults Ive pointed out in this review are pretty minor. My only serious gripe was that Sony didnt come out with a pro or semi-pro DSLR first, but it probably...
