The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Pros:Large and bright viewfinder, sensor quality still at the top, robustness and build quality, internal stabilizer
Cons:No live view
Opinion:The Alpha a900, despite the years it carries on its shoulders, still proves to be an excellent SLR today. A very "analog" digital, massive and heavy, which is well suited to large hands. The body (tropicalized) is comfortable to hold, and the build quality is high. After thirteen years it shows no signs of wear. Comfortable are the many physical controls, which avoid wasting time in consulting the menus. At the time of its release it was one of the full frame with the best resolution on the market, and today, after more than a decade, it certainly does not disfigure. Compared with the a99II, bought as its replacement, from a purely qualitative point of view there are no significant differences. The only feature of this machine that I can consider as a defect (or, in any case, a big lack), is the absence of the live view, comfortable and now almost indispensable. The a900 performs very well even in low light conditions, although from 3200 iso upwards the noise becomes quite noticeable. I have never been in a position to climb to the maximum of iso, 6400. In addition, the stabilized body and compatibility with Minolta optics allow you to create an economical but qualitatively quite satisfactory kit.
Pros:Solidity, consistency in performance, sensor, internal stabilization, available optical fleet, customizations
Cons:High ISO noise, no live view
Opinion:A Rock, built like a tank, totally tropicalized, more compact than the competitors of the time and with a higher quality of image, has a phenomenal EXMOR sensor, which from immense rows of 24mp spectacular, at its exit was the FF with the highest resolution. I bought it to complete my Sony Reflex Full Frame collection, already owning the a850 this is very similar, but better, visually it is the same machine, same body and same weight but as performance this is ahead, it has a faster burst of 5fps, a bright and faithful viewfinder that covers 100% and a different settings menu, despite being a high level professional reflex comparable to the EOS1DS series and Nikon D4 is still very intuitive and relatively while offering better performance than the other two competitors mentioned above.
Pros:Professional body, ergonomics, viewfinder with cover 100%, sensor quality up to ISO 800, stabilizer, dual slot CF-MS
Cons:Noise over ISO 1600, lack live view (present intelligent preview) and video
Opinion:Looking for my first Full frame body, I run into the A900: the first sensation that transmits is to shoot with a film reflex, especially for the noise of the shutter and the viewfinder (real strength of the machine). The 24.6 MPX sensor is still of the highest quality in the 2019 (at least up to ISO 800-1000), huge and bright viewfinder, professional machine body solidity, wide rear display and good quality. A reflex in some ways "traditionalist" (lack of live view and video), which is a really strange fact for a company like Sony, always focused on the last technological frontier; To note that, thanks to the Minolta AF lenses, you can compose a complete full Frame kit of good quality and above all economical.
Pros:Viewfinder, ease of 'use, excellent raw, burst stabilizer.
Cons:High iso ....
Opinion:A tank, the use of 99% to 'open with all kinds weather, never any problems. The raw files are processed very well and retrieve the shadows, and the new Sony Zeiss autofocus and you have access to all the old Minolta lenses port A which become stabilized thanks to the sensor with SteadyShot. I bought it all 'abroad and got a great value compared to that list, so I can still use my old Minolta G series optics
Pros:Excellent sight very bright, very rugged, easy to use, quality 'images, great burst, stabilizer, micro AF
Cons:no live, no flash, high ISO, weight.
Opinion:To be a reflex of 2008 and 'a lady machine. The 24 MP sensor and 'as a reference category in the viewfinder and' exceptional, and 'easy famigliarizzarci. To support this sensor takes optics of high quality 'therefore very expensive, even if it does not have to be stabilized having the image stabilizer incorporated. Above 1000 ISO you can not 'go but from ISO 100 and 600 offers a great resolution and dynamic range.
