Some minor chromatic aberration issues
No live view
No second LCD display The Final Word The Alpha A700 puts Sony firmly in contention with the other big SLR players with its combination of great image quality
Good build quality and ergonomics, Superb quality VGA screen, Built-in sensor-shift stabilisation, HDMI port.
12 Mpixels not much better than 10, Default settings benefit from sharpening, No Live View, upper screen or Wifi option, Very tough rivals in this market.

With its sharp, 12Mp imaging and with more exposure controls than most photographers - amateur or professional - will likely use, the beefy and finely designed Sony Alpha DSLR-A700 rises to nearly pro-level photography, making it well worth its £1,12...
Abstract: Excellent image quality, but let down by some irritating design quirks and the high price. Sonys recent entry into the DSLR market has been greeted fairly positively. Its first effort, the A100, is on our A List, and its second, this A700, hopes to r...
Good LCD, Improved overall spec, Decent value for money
Supplied zoom lens not the best
