The Sony A900 has to rank among the most anticipated digital SLRs in recent memory. Alpha A900 featuring a full 35mm frame-sized image sensor. The Sony DSLR-A900’s body is constructed from five main magnesium alloy sections, and includes sealing to reduce ingress of moisture between the body panels, as well as at the various control dials and buttons. The Sony A900 has a Sony Alpha lens mount that also accepts Konica and Konica Minolta glass. A large pentaprism sits above the lens mount, both dictating the camera body’s workmanlike visual aesthetic, and providing a very large and bright TTL optical viewfinder with 0.74x magnification.
The rear panel features a large 3-inch LCD display with 921,600 dot resolution, equating to VGA (640 x 480) pixel with three R, G and B dots per pixel. This is used solely for reviewing of images, as well as for menus and status display; the Sony Alpha DSLR-A900 doesn’t offer live view capability. There’s also a small top-panel status LCD which indicates remaining shots and battery life, as well as the basic exposure variables. The success of the Alpha 900 amongst the Minolta, Konica Minolta and Sony faithful seems assured; at a launch price of just shy of $3000 it offers a lot of ‘bang for your buck’ and there is undoubtedly a significant number of Minolta film SLR users who’ve been waiting years for a full frame digital body on which to use their existing lenses. And on paper the Alpha 900 looks promising. Via:  slashgear |
