Sony ‘lives up to the competition’
20 Dec 2007
A new review of the Sony A700 DSLR has highlighted the KonicaMinolta heritage of the model.
Among the new features the camera has are a 12.2-megapixel image sensor, which has been designed to offer low noise and high speed facilities. Such technological developments mean the camera can directly compete with the new Nikon D300, Digital Photography Review claims.
Beside this, there is also a new autofocus sensor with an 11-point focusing system and a new image processor which has been designed specifically for use with the new image sensor.
The camera is aimed at the crossover market between serious amateurs and semi-professionals, and its main competitors include the aforementioned model from Nikon as well as the new Olympus E-3 and the Canon EOS-40D.
Other features the model boasts include dual-storage format capability as well as HD connectivity. It is also capable of shooting five frames per second when in continuous mode.
Indeed the review states that the new camera from Sony “certainly has what it takes to play with the big boys”.
