Neocamera compares the 10.2 megapixel Pentax K10D in a side-by-side shoot out with the 10 megapixel Sony Alpha A100 and writes, “Both these DSLRs have an easily accessible front control-wheel. Once again, the Sony’s is easier to use with gloves because it has bigger notches. This may not be an issue for most people, but if you do take pictures where gloves are required, it is something to keep in mind. Another point with regards to gloves is that the K10D’s memory and battery door compartments are more difficult to open. This is a reasonable compromise considering that DSLR’s weather-sealing.”

NeoCamera reviews the 10 megapixel Sony Alpha A100 and writes, “The bottom line is that the Sony Alpha A100 brings many unique features and produces high quality images under most conditions. Unless high-ISO is required for large prints, this is one of the best DSLRs to choose. Considering it has built-in stabilization and is priced relatively low, the A100 is an excellent value. Its closest competitor, the weatherproof Pentax K10D, is worth a look for its own unique features. Another interesting competitor is the Canon Digital Rebel XTi. It performs better at high-ISO but lacks stabilization and is not as ergonomic. For action photography, particularly indoors, the 8 megapixels Canon EOS 30D or the much more expensive Nikon D200 should be considered for their 5 FPS continuous drive and high-speed focusing.”

PCAuthority reviews the 10 megapixel Sony Alpha A100 and here’s the verdict. “Despite some minor disappointments, the Sony A100 remains a highly compelling proposition and an impressive debut. At this price, the 10.2-megapixel resolution, built-in anti-shake and slightly longer kit lens make it a worthy alternative to the 350D. The latter’s current bargain price keeps it on the A List, but the Alpha range is certainly one to watch.”

Macworld reviews the 10 megapixel Sony Alpha A100 and here’s the verdict. “The camera is a good performer, offering speedy boot-up and wake-from-sleep, and very low shutter lag. The Alpha 100’s drive mode is speedy for this market, offering three frames per second for six frames when shooting raw, and unlimited drive mode when shooting JPEGs, which lets you shoot until your card is full.”

Steve’s Digicams reviews the 10 megapixel Sony Alpha A100 and here’s the verdict. “For many, Sony’s Super Steady Shot feature will be a tie-breaker. Amateur dSLRs are generally outfitted with inexpensive amateur lenses having relatively small apertures and no image stabilization; the A100’s Super Steady Shot feature allows you to enjoy low light hand-held shooting with every lens in your kit, while the competition requires the purchase of relatively expensive image stabilized lenses for equivalent low light shooting.”

DigitalCameraInfo reviews the 10 megapixel Sony Alpha A100 and here’s the verdict. “The Sony α (alpha) A100 is a good value for users who want stabilization, dust control and 10 megapixels, but don’t mind a clunky interface and slow operation. It’s a snapshot camera with some very appealing bells and whistles, and it will be a very good fit for casual photographers who want a DSLR, but don’t need one.
The Sony A100 is an overall disappointment. It’s far too similar to the Konica-Minolta cameras it’s built on. Those cameras failed in the marketplace, and some of Sony’s few and minor changes, such as the parameters dial, aren’t improvements. The strategy doesn’t seem to improve a product that didn’t sell; it just markets it with a bigger name.”
