Ephotozine has reviewed the 10 megapixel Sony Alpha A100 and they write - “Sony’s first venture into the digital SLR marketplace may bear many hallmarks inherited from their acquisition of Minolta’s photographic assets, but credit is due to Sony for the addition of an excellent 10.2 megapixel sensor that produces images of quality beyond those of the competition. They have also made their mark with a seemingly simple modification of the Super SteadyShot system that should shake dust loose from the sensor each time the camera is switched off.

Other aspects of the camera are not so impressive. The D-Range optimiser doesn’t seem to deliver the results that are promised, and the plastic build is disappointing when compared to some competing cameras.”

The negative points: Plastic build D-Range Optimiser doesn’t produce results as promised
