This would be perfect for my photography course I am just about to sign up for. How heavy is it?
Is it realy worth the money or could I get anything near for less money?
I’ve not seen anything so sleek with so many good points before
needs live-view, video and more zeiss lenses.. then it would be canikonkiller
If you want a consumer dSLR look at the now aging a300/350. Sony a900 is not for soccer moms or point & shoot gadget show off people.
what consumer dslr??
I have Pentax K20D with bunch of K-lenses and Iam content.
This is just an interesting FF. I do use live-view for macro shooting, on tripod or in different angles. Its not for PS camera only.. OMG!!!
And video mode is just sw function using same sensor, it should be automatically in ANY digital camera.
And about lenses.. sony lacks some 24-105 Hi-Quality lens, then more primes.
Hmmm Pentax and SMC and now Hoya. I never ragged on your K20D so I do not know why you decided to pull that out. A co-worker of mine has the K20D and is happy with it as well but as with all cameras he has his wish list.
a900 was not meant to be the type of camera with live-view. Why do you think they choose to remove the onboard flash which not only killed off the easy wireless flash but also states professionals never use onboard flash. a900 has different focusing screens, hello macro!
PS have “live-view” because optically it cannot be like an dSLR. You are not talking apples to apples. Tuesday we picked up a D90, video mode works but my aging Sanyo HD still out performs … each product does what it was intended to do. I do expect Sony to do video on newer a300/350 … they use 2 sensors already
Sony has the 16-105mm for budget folks and the CZ like the 24-70mm for Pro minded folks. Minolta 24-105mm FF are on used the markets – I sold my copy a while back 
try to READ it few times more, then think about it and then write comment..
btw. your sanyo will never have 50/1.4 lens with its depth of field. Borrow eos5DII and check its abilities. Live view is a must in digital era, you can have OVF as big as nothing, thats cool, but you cannot put your head on camera’s viewfinder always..
you cannot buy new minolta 24-105, thats why Im writing about “alpha needs more zeiss lenses”. 24-70 is great, but different lens.
Its reaction for your advice to get myself consumer aging A300/350.. I don’t care about those plastic xxx.. omg!
And they removed onboard flash because of big pentaprism in relatively small FF body. There was no place for integrated flash tall enough to overshoot big FF lens.
Professionals DO use onboard flash, if they have one. You can use it as a trigger for other flashes even at big distance, where you need radio junk otherwise. There were may film profi cameras with on-board flash.
Yo mate are you trying to start a flame war on something you dont own or know about?
YOU should read comments. I said Consumer dSLR and mentione dthe a300/350 with Live-View but lacks video which I stated I hope it will be in the net generation.
My Sanyo is a optical F/1.8 lens and the video quality is better.
Sony 16-105mm > Minolta 24-105mm and if you say CZ the cost goes up.
F1/.8 lens on your sanyo cannot do as shallow depth of field as APSC dslr or more.. FF DSLR. Learn about depth of field and aperture pls.
+ Sony 16-105 is nice lens BUT YOU CANNOT USE IT ON FULL FRAME CAMERA with full coverage. It only covers 1.5x crop sensor in alfa100/200/300/350/700.. EH!
Dude take a chill pill. That is the reason why there is a cheap Sony 16-105 for crops be in the 24+ range and then for FF we got different lens. BTW a900 can use crop lens but I have none :p All Minolta or CZ.
You are right about the lens for my Sanyo but you keep looking at everything with a biased one area opinion.
DoF is my friend, I shoot all my portraits in manual focus using widest aperture.
I leave this thread alone now and let reads do their research. Cheers and happy shooting!
but there are just few FF lenses for alfa900.. thats why I said that this camera needs more lenses to be real canonkiller..
Sony has many minolta designs, but current lineup are expensive Zeiss16-35/2.8 great Zeiss 24-70/2.8, then great Minolta designed sony 70-200/2.8… OK.. cool. But then older min/sony 24-105 3.5-4.5, which has nice walk-around range, but its just cheap lens not comparable with ZA lenses quality needed for hi-resolution FF sensor
/ + none wide FF zoom like 12-24
then something like FF 28-300, then FF tilt-shift lenses, autofocus zeiss vario sonnar 24-85 etc..
im wanna get a panosonic gh1…
can anybody hook me up with the pros and cons?
can it be a camcorder?
awesome camera and lovely song
by the way what is the songs name?
Right, i need a quick answer is 240K pixels and good???? for a camera im getting for £50???? thanks
Curtis
the song is a classic.. ave maria but i dont know the singer.
oh … nice cam.. but i wonder how the nikon and canon equivalents.remote control and hdmi.. not bad at all
song?
This is made by Minolta for Sony. I must say this camera is not bad. This does not need to compete with Canon Or Nikon, its the person behind the viewfinder who should compete, i.e your creativity as such. Even if you have the “Top of the line DSLR”, if you shoot like shit what`s the point hehehe!
ava maria…lol. its in hitman
