Strengths: Compatible with older Minolta A-Mount lenses, High quality 10.2 megapixel photos, Large 2.5 inch LCD Screen, Built in "Super Steadyshot" image stabilization, Rechargeable battery, Built-in flash,+more
Weakness: Flash has to be manually lifted up, no other weaknesses in my opinion at this time.
In the beginning, the main attraction for my husband and I to this camera was the fact that it accepts the Minolta A-mount lenses, because we own a Minolta Maxxum 7000 and, of course, have A-mount lenses for it. It was a great plus to be able to go digital and still retain use of our current lenses. However, we did research this camera for a few months before we made the final decision to...

The Sony Alpha DSLR-A100 is a digital single lens reflex (D-SLR), and Sonys first entry in to this space by leveraging the technology coming from their acquisition of Konica-Minoltas SLR technologies in March 2006. It has a 10.2 megapixel image sensor, 2.5" LCD screen is equipped with a shake reduction technology, and an anti-dust system. Sony opted to use the more standard CompactFlash storage...

With more than a little help from Konica Minolta, Sony has successfully entered the digital SLR arena with their Alpha DSLR-A100. With a high resolution 10.2 Megapixel sensor, built-in image stabilization and dust reduction systems, and super-fast performance, the A100 gives the competition a run for their money. Despite a few annoyances, the A100 offers quite a lot -- and it earns my...

There's no denying the Sony 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. But it's not all...

Great value
Strengths: Super steady shot in camera not lenses.Function dial very EZ to use. LCD size. Good owners manual included.
Weakness: A little heavy.A little noisy- Shutter and other drives.
I am coming from a Canon XT, which I will still use. My attraction to this cameras stems from my collection of Minolta Maxxium. I have tried them all on and they all work. I feel very comfortable with the controls and features having used Minolta cameras for 30 years. I hope Sony continues to improve this camera line at this price level.
