"Konica Minolta may no longer be in the camera business officially (at least for the time being) but that doesn't mean they aren't in many of the hearts and minds of the photographers who still use their equipment. With 17 million lenses available still on the used market (the number at least in 2006 when they handed Sony the business), that means that great deal of lenses not only still exist, but that there is quite a range to choose from. And out of that range stand out a few classic Minolta lenses that are wildly popular in the "KM" A-Mount community. One such lens is the Konica Minolta 100-300mm APO, which has seen two different versions with the "D" version being one of Konica Minolta's last and the subject of this review."

The Nikon D700 is getting in the "affordable" range for enthusiasts. Soon as the D800 starts stocking more regularly, look to this body to be a heck of a killer deal.

Sony Alpha A77 Review- The Final Word (Updated 3-30-2012)

November 2011, Carl Garrard Sony A77 24.3 MP Digital SLR with Translucent Mirror Technology - Body Only

Sony Alpha A77 Review: As it turns out, all of  the A77's I used both prior to announcement by Sony and afterwards were final production cameras. At least they were in terms of  image quality (used 1.02 for most of the testing). In total I have used three separate A77's and know this camera quite well as a result. A new firmware upgrade (v1.03) gives a few tweaks to the overall operational performance of the A77 but from what I've seen first hand and gathered, they aren't substantial. Therefore, I offer to you my final review of the A77, as it stands today based on the current firmware version 1.03.

Since I've already completed a couple articles on the A77 (First Impressions and Preview) there's not a whole lot more to go into regarding my final summary. However, a few key topics haven't been discussed which I shall do here, nor has my final conclusion about this camera been reached until now. So lets cover the topics I haven't yet with the two articles above, and get down to the conclusion of Sony's new flagship DSLT (as of today's writing).
