CNET Asia Review

Very good

7.4

View score

The good: High resolution; in-body image stabilization; nice viewfinder; great accessory system.

The bad: Can't lock focus-point selector; Intelligent Preview button much too easy to hit accidentally; some subpar aspects of performance; no Live View; loud mirror.

The bottom line: A good first try at a pro-level camera, the Sony Alpha DSLR-A900 has the high resolution but unfortunately lacks some of the performance and usability you would expect from a model in its price range.
