Sony A900: Michael Reichmann's Update
SonyA900Update.png

Michael Reichmann wrote a review of the Sony A900 a few weeks ago. He was very impressed with the Sony A900.

Well, it's three weeks later, he's run about 1000 frames though the camera, and so he's updated his review.

He's also published an independent review by Bill Caufield-Browne:

Rather than summarize or paraphrase his Michael's comments, I'll post a brief quotation:

"If it seems as if I've been waxing rhapsodic over the Sony A900, it's because in fact I am. This is turning out to be an extremely enjoyable camera to use. Build quality is first rate, and the lack of top-rank weather sealing hasn't prevented me from shooting in some recent snow storms with no ill effects. Image quality is as good as I've ever seen from any DSLR, and at 25 Megapixels provides the opportunity for very large prints as well as significant cropping potential when needed. With its high resolution the camera is very demanding of lenses, but so far I am very pleased with the lens selections that I've made. Dynamic range is in medium format back territory."

Any more, you have to go to The Luminous Landscape and read his comments in full.
