When purchasing electronics such as a digital camera why not go with the leader in consumer electronic production? The most recent release from this giant is the Sony Alpha A700K camera.

Imaging

Would you like to create your own poster size image of your grandkids soccer game? With 12.24 megapixels, you can do exactly that and give you rich tonal reproduction as well as high signal to noise ratios.

It seems that the more expensive the camera the higher the number of frames per second you can shoot. The Sony Alpha A700K offers you three or five frames per second even in full 12.24 megapixels. That is quick enough to get some action shots, however still not quite enough for high-speed sports scenes.

In addition, you have a camera equipped with built in steady shot technology. This means that the image sensor will move in response to camera shake giving you instant blur reduction. This can give you an advantage in low light or with handheld shots that would traditionally need a tripod, by offering 4.0-shutter speed.





Camera

The body of this camera is lightweight and thanks to the built in grip super easy to hold. It is dust and moisture resistant and has an aluminum chassis with magnesium overlay. The Sony Alpha weighs in at less than two pounds and feels quite substantial in the hand.

Fun Features

The Sony Alpha 700 comes with a handy remote that has many uses. You can take a family photo instantly with the wireless remote or set up a two-second delay. Another really fun feature is the ability to connect the camera to both your high definition television and a printer at the same time. Now you can conduct a fun family slide show and print off copies with the remote!

Finally


Are there areas where this camera could be improved upon?

Yes, of course but that is the way of technology today.

A product comes out on the market already behind in many ways.

The good news is Sony announced that this would be their medieval digital SLR camera, which means newer more feature rich products are on the way!
