The editors liked

  • Takes fantastic pictures
  • Tough build

  • High resolution
  • Weather resistant
  • Fast
  • Sharp
  • Rich images with test lens
  • The resolution wars are officially over – and Sony has won. The A900 has the most pixels of any SLR camera on the planet (this week
  • At least) and certainly knows how to use them. Image quality is top notch for daytime shooting
  • And there more than...

The editors didn't like

  • On the pricey side
  • Limited lens
  • Noise at higher ISO. Less features than Canon EOS 5D Mk II
  • No Live View
  • No built-in flash
  • Bulky
  • Image noise at ISO3200+
  • Cheer up
  • Sony! You’d hardly think the same company that cranks out fun-loving PlayStations and razor-thin compacts could be responsible for this po-faced product. There’s no Live View
  • No movie mode and no face detection
  • And the chunky A900...
  • Can't lock focus-point selector
  • Preview button much too easy to hit accidentally
  • Some below-par aspects of performance
  • No live view
  • Loud mirror
  • Slow autofocus and single-shot speed
  • Photos get noisy and mushy starting at ISO 1
  • 600

  • Abstract:  The Sony Alpha 900 has a staggering 24.6Mp sensor and has the accolade of offering the largest resolution of any full-frame D-SLR – even beating the £5000 24.5Mp Nikon D3X – quite a feat, especially when you consider the relatively low price. The ISO r...

  • Well done Sony. The firm’s first pro-spec DSLR has the image quality and resolution to match the very best DSLRs from the established brands and at a competitive price. True, it can’t match the high ISO performance or shadow detail smoothness of the Ni...

  • The Sony Alpha A900 is a late entrant to the DSLR market but it's wasted no time in making its mark.It has three APS-C sized DSLRs straddling the low-end to enthusiasts market, and now its fullframe A900 goes head-to-head against pro models from Nikon ...

  • A serious tool for serious photographers with seriously large memory cards (and wallets to match). The biggest, certainly, but with the launch of Canon’s EOS 5D Mark II, perhaps not quite the best pro SLR out there.Sony Alpha 900 is tagged with Sony...

  • Abstract:  All the fanfare surrounding the introduction of the Sony NEX-7 caught the attention of many photographers interested in a small camera capable of high-quality results, myself included. I duly entered the pre-order lotte...

  • Abstract:  The Sony A850 and A900 are full frame cameras that pack in 24.6-megapixels on that big sensor. The cameras appear at the top-end of the Alpha system line up. At first blush, the A850 appears almost identical to the pricier Sony A900. After delving d...

  • Abstract:  Sony claim to have cemented their place in the digital SLR market with the Alpha 900 and while they’ve got a long way to go before they take any serious stranglehold on the monopoly that in reality belongs to Canon and Nikon, it is fair to say that...
