The Alpha 900 is Sony's first entry into the 35mm DSLR market. Sony has been showing prototypes and publishing early marketing materials since 2007. The camera is available to  consumers this month. Phil Askey has posted a comprehensive review on DPReview.

Typical of his reviews, Phil's review of the Sony Alpha 900 is loaded with lots of specs and test results.

Some quick specs:

  • 24.6 MP full frame DSLR
  • Image sensor shift stabilization
  • 9 point AF with 10 assist points
  • 5 frames per second burst

$2999 body price
