Like a mythical bird rising from the ashes of Konica Minolta, Sony’s first digital SLR - Sony Alpha DSLR-A100K, marks the company’s entry into the big leagues of digital still imaging. With a 10.2-megapixel CCD sensor, a bevy of convenience features, an updated version of Konica Minolta’s CCD-shift image stabilization, and a design that improves slightly on the Maxxum 5D, Sony has delivered a worthy competitor in the sub-$1,000 dSLR market.
Sony Alpha DSLR-A100K deserves consideration whether you’re looking for an alternative to Canon and Nikon, you already own a selection of Maxxum AF lenses, or you’re looking for your first digital SLR.
