Reviewers #1 Pick For Most Impressive Compact

Sony Alpha A100 or Nikon D200 at PopPhoto

July 25, 2006

PopPhoto offers a buyers comparison of the Sony Alpha A100 and Nikon D200. They write - “I think the Sony compares favorably to the Nikon D200 in image quality, if not in build and features. (I hear it even uses the same Sony-made chip.) If you’re not hard on your camera and don’t need such features as the Nikon’s higher framing speed, I think it would serve your purposes very well.” Keep in mind that if you’re stitching multiple images, especially at full resolution, noise and other artifacts won’t be nearly as apparent as if you were taking a single frame up to the same print size, and that a three-frame stitch turns the Sony (or the Nikon) into something on the order of a 30-megapixel camera.
