Image quality is just stunning. This camera coupled to the Zeiss 16-80 is a perfect set up. Flash exposure is spot on (I use both the old Minolta and the new Sony flashes... Same thing to me.)I have used up to ISO 1600 with very satisfying results. from Bhphotovideo.com I use Light Room for editing my photos and I just sat back in awe. There really wasn't much to tweak. I really LOVE the stable shot feature because I know for a fact my hand was not steady during some shots that I've taken and the pictures were perfect. This camera is expensive but I HIGHLY recommend it. from Bhphotovideo.com At this point, any of the top cameras will take great photos and this is no exception. The sensor on this camera ranks 5th overall in the <$3000 (body only) range (google DXOMark) This camera is set apart by the feel and features. It feels and handles like a camera, like a photographer's SLR designed to be efficient at taking pictures, not amusing the owner. from Amazon.com The Sony A700 is a sister camera to the Konica-Minolta Maxxum 7D which I own and was very pleased with. I purchased the Sony based on my experience with the Maxxum 7D. from Amazon.com When I got the camera from SonyStyle, I bought a two year repair plan. A few weeks after I received the camera, I found a small scratch on the lens which may have been triggered by a friction that occured when my camera felt 1-2 inches on a shelve. from Amazon.com extremely pleased with this camera. especially combined with the sony lens 18-250 mm. recommend to upgrade to last fw asap. from Amazon.com Great for causal use, good performance/price ratio. Back focus issue with SAL50F14 (50mm/1.4F) & SAL18200 (18~200mm) depending on aperture & zoom settings, couldn't be fixed after 3 repair trips, tired of it, now stuck with blurry quick shots (some of them); if you are slow shooter and have more time to adjusting focus (compensating the back focus) for every photo, it's still a great camera. from Amazon.com I totally enjoy using this camera. Its low noise capability (after installing V4) exceeds my old Minolta 5D even though it has twice the amount of pixels. from Amazon.com LENS: for $200 extra, the 18-200mm Sony lens can be added to the Sony Alpha 700 camera body: Sony Alpha A700 12.24MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Aspherical ED Lens. Originally priced at $499, this is a high-quality lens, very sharp at most focal lengths. from Amazon.com I am only a beginner when it comes to the full operation of a camera, I have been guessing at settings w/o taking notes for 20 years, With many of awesome results, along with some bad images. I decided to take an extra leap from my little digital Fuji s3000 to the a700 since I already own a few of the best lenses made by the "Minds of Minolta". from Amazon.com
