CNET Asia Review
Excellent
The good: Exceptionally streamlined, comfortable shooting design; broad, functional feature set, including sensor-shift image stabilizer; excellent photo quality; generally fast performance. 8.3
out of 10View score
The bad: A few design quirks; proprietary hot shoe.
The bottom line: A top-of-the-line amateur digital SLR camera, the Sony Alpha A700 will delight Konica Minolta diehards and makes a great choice if you don't already have a stake in other lens systems.

A very good mid-range DSLR for that price!
Jan 12, 2008Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Comfortable to hold, good performance & enough features to satisfy anyone.
Cons: Need to use OEM lenses for now until such time available from 3rd party manufacturers.
Opinion:
I bought this camera 3 days ago and went through it instruction manual and tried the camera with Sony kit lens and ex-Minolta Dynax lenses. They performed well. The kit
lens is pretty good but not outstanding and the Carl Zeiss
would be better of course. The camera body is made in Japan and that is what I like most. Up coming A 200 will compliment this A 700 and the new lenses line up is more than enough to satify most fussy photographers. Sony is
indeed coming up fast to join the DSLR market that is dominated by Canon & Nikon. It is good that we have another competitor with more choices!
Fantastic, easy to use cam with professional features
Oct 18, 2007Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Image quality, speed, build, built-in anti-shake, great lenses, VERY ergonomic
Cons: In SG, lenses are hard to find / expensive.
Opinion:
A fantastic camera that has yet to disappoint me. It's quickly reaching "you can pry it out of my cold dead hands" status. focus is fast, reviewing pictures is fast, the screen is gorgeous...
It's hard to find fault with this cam, and it certainly grabs the attention of Nikon and Canon users too (in a good way)
