Blocky in appearance, weather-sealed against the elements, what the Sony Alpha A900 lacks in prettiness it makes up for in specification, to a point. What's notably missing, apart from an incorporated flash, is the ability to utilise the rear 3in, 920...
All in all, the Sony Alpha A900 is a very capable heavyweight option for those not already wedded to either Canon or Nikon...

Boasting incredibly high resolution for a 35mm-size D-SLR, the A900 features a full-frame sensor and some unique technology. Sony developed an Exmor 24x36mm CMOS chip for this camera; it’s packed with 24.6 million effective pixels but they’re quite la...

What happens when an electronics behemoth jumps into DSLRs? In Sony's case, it pushes development into overdrive for a couple of years. Then it makes a full-frame 24.6MP CMOS sensor and steals the title of most megapixels in the 35mm format from Canon...

The Alpha 900 represents in a nutshell the almost schizophrenic nature of Sonys digital camera division, which can market compact cameras with smile detection and a Playstation style user interface at the same time as this, perhaps the most pared-dow...

More noise than rivals above 400 ISO, No Live View or movie function, Upper information screen very basic, Tendency to underexpose in our tests.

Sony came out swinging for the fences with the introduction of its "flagship" DSLR, the A900. Billed as a prosumer digi-snapper, but packed with a panoply of pro-style features, a memory card bursting, 24-megapixel full-frame sensor, crystal clear high...
Bright, vivid and spacious viewfinder. Excellent incamera image stabilization system. Easy nomenu adjustments with Fn button and multiselector toggle. Killer price for the highest resolution, high functioning, easy to use DSLR.
Focus points not big and bright enough in brightly lit situations. No latch for memory card cover. Pointless postage stamp sized LCD on top of the body. No continuous ISO in viewfinder. Power switch on left side of body. Camera Resolution: 24.6 megapixels...

Sony started the year promising a lot for their flagship camera. We didnt have a name, nor a long list of features, but we did know that the sensor would be a 24.6-megapixel design that was expected to impress. It certainly has done that. The Sony A90...

The system is a bit limited, but there are two new lenses, a 16-35/2.8 and a 70-400/4-5.6 both with SSM focussing. The new HVL-F58AM flash looks good too; with it\'s unique swivelling head the problems of shooting vertically are overcome by the simple solution of tilting the whole flash head up into a vertical position - very clever...
