Which one would you prefer? A200, A300, A350 or A700?

Hi

I would be interested in your view on this. If you would have the money as of today, which one of the new Sony Alpha DSLRs would you buy? And why?

A200, A300, A350 or A700?

 

[jmcarreira]

definitely​

A300

 

[mattbowen]

From all that I have read I would get the A-700 due to the magnesium body and the sensor

 

[AJ Gressette]

A-700

A-700 any day.

A350 if I didn't already have one. A700 because I do.

The A350 live view is great for tripod work and for those low viewpoints. I use a 1.3 eyepiece magnifier which is a great improvement. The A350 live view lacks the 100% 10X magnification which would make it great. The quick AF is not important to me, the tilting screen is.

The A700 would be better for manual focusing I think. I think for long telephoto or maybe macro the larger focusing screen on A700 is better.

Image quality on both cameras is very good.

Which Sony DSLR

HI Dirk, Marc Williams (Fotografz), I just joined your Sony/Minolta forum!

My choice is the A900. I have two of them : -) and all of the full frame Zeiss lenses (16-35/2.8, 24-70/2.8, 85/1.4, 135/1.8 plus a few select Sony lenses, (50/1.4, 70-200/2.8G APO, 500/8 AF Mirror.)

Why? Because this is the camera and lenses the Contax ND could have eventually been, except some of the Zeiss lenses are even better, and in effect they are all VR/IS because of the Super Steady Shot built into the camera.

Terrific camera with a lot of promise.
