The Sony Alpha DSLR-A700 digital SLR is a complex, well-made camera with tons of controls. The A700 takes exceptionally sharp, well-exposed shots.
First impressions of the Alpha DSLR-A700, Sony's �1,124 inc VAT, 12Mp digital single-lens reflex camera, brings to mind terms like "massive," "brick-like," and "complex". With its deep righthand grip and 1.25Kg weight (which includes the zoom lens in the kit we tested), it feels big and heavy.
That impression is, however, a bit deceiving. The Sony Alpha DSLR-A700's body is comparable in size to the Canon EOS 30D, and most of the Sony's weight is in the lens - the body, without a battery, is 0.68g, less than the 30D or the Samsung Digimax GX-10 we reviewed at the same time as the Sony. Some of that savings in weight comes from the Sony's magnesium body, which should also add to its overall durability.
Unlike some other digital SLR brands, Sony did not go cheap on the kit lens bundled with its camera: The �1,124 inc VAT price includes a zoom lens with an appealing 24mm to 158mm (35mm equivalent) focal length.
Purchasing the body alone reduces the price again. Apart from this lens, however, the number of other lenses and accessories available for this model is limited.
