Sony DSLR-A100 Pro Reviews

DP Review‘s review Edit

A100 is a very capable camera with a wide feature set, a good range of manual controls and some unique developments. The built-in Super SteadyShot provides you with that little extra comfort level at slower shutter speeds and the ability to use longer lenses with more confidence.

An extremely impressive debut from a new player in the digital SLR market, the Sony Alpha α100 is pitched at the consumer end of the market, but is actually a better camera than most of its mid-range rivals too. It bristles with clever technology, but is very easy to use and produces consistently excellent results. It would be a good camera for a newcomer to SLRs, but more experienced users will also find it very satisfying to use.

Not flawless, but Sony's debut DSLR impresses with a 10.2-megapixel resolution and built-in anti-shake

LetsGoDigital‘s review Edit

All in all, Sony has come up with a decent camera in the Alpha 100. A good beginning is half the battle. Consider the price/quality ration in the current market and you will see that the well known DSLR manufacturers have suddenly been confronted with a competitor to be afraid of!

PhotographyBLOG‘s review Edit

Aiming a product at DSLR beginners, as much as existing Konica Minolta users, means ease of use and a stress-free transference of skill sets are required, and on those two counts the Sony A100 delivers. That start up time of just over a second, mere 3fps capture, and loud shutter may not be good enough to please the pros, but it's a performance that's more than adequate given it's a DSLR intended for mass market consumption.

CNET Reviews‘s review Edit

Sony's Alpha DSLR-A100 deserves consideration whether you're looking for an alternative to Canon and Nikon, you already own a selection of Maxxum AF lenses, or you're looking for your first digital SLR.

Steve's Digicams‘s review Edit

With the introduction of the A100, Sony has clearly established itself as a quality producer amateur dSLRs and erased any doubts about its commitment to the dSLR marketplace.

The Imaging Resource‘s review Edit

The strength of Sony's initial foray into the DSLR market is testimony to the wisdom shown by Sony's management in partnering with Konica-Minolta and eventually taking over their DSLR operations. By any measure, the Sony A100 delivers strong functionality and represents an excellent value for the money. The sensor-based anti-shake system Sony inherited from Minolta is very capable, and has the usual sensor-based advantage of making all your lenses into image-stabilized ones.

Camera Labs‘s review Edit

There's no denying Sony's Alpha DSLR-A100 is an impressive camera for the money. Simply having 10.2 Megapixel resolution and built-in anti-camera-shake is enough to elevate it beyond most budget digital SLRs. Throw in a high resolution 2.5in screen and some neat image processing options, along with a kit lens which zooms-in further than the competition, and it's looking even stronger.
