Having researched throughout these past few months about aperture, ISO, crop factor, etc. I picked up a 50mm f/1.7 + 70-210mm f/4 (the "beercan") off CraigsList, since these seem to be "the" lenses to get. The biggest thing Sony has going for them is the backwards compatibility of the Minolta AF lens line. So for the past 4 months, haven taken over 8000 pictures (in RAW), and been to 2 foreign countries, this was definitely worth the investment. As a person who had zero experience or knowledge of the SLR domain, this was quite a gamble. Having the opportunity to pick up the A200K for $413 shipped/no tax from SonyRewards last June helped factor in that decision. Plenty of friends consider Canon or Nikon as the major players, and own either one. AkumaX - Friday, Octolink It's hard to decide which camera to go for the coveted Entry Level DSLR position.If you are looking for an entry-level DSLR, on the other hand, the A200 will do a fine job in both image quality and low-noise in an entry-level camera with more features than most of the competition. The results here show the A700 v4 is definitely worth the higher price if you are an advanced amateur looking for better image quality and lower noise. The A200 performs well compared to other entry models, and Sony A700 fans will be pleased to see that Sony seems to have finally solved their JPG processing issues in version 4 of the A700 firmware. Keep in mind that the A700 is the current Sony prosumer model and that it costs more than twice as much as the A200 - and that's just for the body. The A3 crops shows noise is just too high in that camera at this speed and performance at ISO 3200 will be of very limited usefulness. It appears to be just as good as the others through about ISO 800, but the ISO 1600 performance is higher in noise than either the A200 or the A700. The 14.2MP A350 is not similarly blessed in this comparison. Even the ISO 6400 on the A700 v4 is more comparable to 3200 on the 10MP sensor. The A7 crop is quite like the A2, which should make images from the A700 v4 quite useful through ISO 3200. In fact, the A7 noise is more comparable to the ISO 800 crop from the A200. Looking at these crops the praise for the v4 Sony A700 certainly appears justified.Īt ISO 1600 the A700 is clearly the lowest noise of these three sensors, which is a surprise when you realize we are comparing a 10MP A200 to a 12MP A700. Sony claims they incorporated in version 4 what they learned in developing the pro-targeted A900. Much praise has been made of the A700 version 4 firmware, which was designed to bring the A700 more closely into competition with the D300. This is mostly because results show a greater variation among the three sensors than you might expect, since they are all from the same manufacturer. The comparisons of the three Sony crop-sensors are arguably the most interesting of all. Note: Full size images are between 3.2MB and 11.8MB! Sony A700v4Ĭlick on any of the above image crops for the full image. We do have both a Sony A900 and a Canon D700 in the lab and we are working on reviews and comparisons of both these full-frame cameras. Since that sensor is for a different class of camera (some six times the cost of the A200), it was not included for comparison. Sony also manufactures the largest digital full-frame sensor available in the 24.6MP Sony A900 that has just recently started shipping. ![]()
