Just like the rest of the digital camera market, the digital SLR market itself is divided into several different categories. At one end you have the entry-level consumer DSLRs such as the Canon EOS 1000D (£400), Pentax K-m (£380) or Sony Alpha A200 (£270)...

If cameras were rated on specifications alone, Sony’s Alpha 900 would be a hard act to beat. Let’s consider the evidence: there’s a full-frame Exmore CMOS sensor packed with 24.6 million pixels - and, please note, this is the effective number. The sens...

After I’d finished hearing all about the Sony Alpha 900 at the 2008 Photokina trade show, and had played with one of the few finished units available at the time, I walked away from the Sony stand genuinely impressed. The camera is ‘High resolution’...
Sony’s latest offering is a stunner. At low ISO sensitivities it delivers images that are every bit as crisp and detailed as those from Canon’s EOS-1Ds MkIII and Nikon’s D3, but at a greatly reduced cost. We found the a900 for £1794 on o...

Cheer up, Sony! You’d hardly think the same company that cranks out fun-loving PlayStations and razor-thin compacts could be responsible for this po-faced product. There’s no Live View, no movie mode and no face detection, and the chunky A900...

The resolving power of this camera/lens combination is simply breathtaking. What it means in every day use is that images can be cropped down to small sections and still retain sharp detail. Dynamic range is very good and exposures are generally spot o...
The camera/lens combination is heavy. Do cameras really need to have such mass in order to be indestructible? High ISO images are not as clean as from the Nikon and Canon equivalent cameras.
Sony tell us that this is not their professional camera. It is intended for the well-heeled amateur who is either a fan of the brand or has some legacy Minolta lenses in the bag. So it sells against the Nikon D700 and the Canon 5DII – formidable opp...
