A700 Owners- Relief May Be in Sight!

The known issue with skipping menu items and settings as a result of using the control wheel(s) has now become commonplace with A700 owners. There are several ways to tackle this issue so that the control wheels operate back to normal. The A700 will eventually gather dust or foreign particles into the control wheel housing causing some skipping to eventually take place.

Hello folks!

Did some experimenting today with the A-700 at its highest shutter speeds 1/6400th sec - 1/8000th sec only. I wanted to see what could be caught at these shutter speeds incorporating the A-700's max SS and 5FPS. This is my first attempt at such a test, and I will do another (cuz this was a blast!... uh no pun intended) with higher quality photos and a more controlled environment next time around.

Alpha A700 Semi-Professional DSLR- The "User-Friendly" King of DSLRS

AlphaMountWorld brings you our updated Alpha A700 Camera production Digital SLR Review

Overview:

From the name... to the specifications, the semi professional A700 surprised many of us (remember that?). A great many expectations were put on the A700 before its release. Judging from the forum reactions and review sites all over the world, the A700 has met these expectations in terms of features, price, build quality, and yes now even the most important feature...image quality. The jury has come in and the A700's image quality is at a very high level. Months of use with my A700 have yielded some excellent results. Since my preview was completed in early September of 2007, the A700 received an upgrade in I.Q. with its first firmware update providing sharper jpegs with higher contrast. Its second firmware upgrade fixed a bug that would lock up the camera (and a bit more), and with those small wrinkles worked out the A700 can now truly shine to its fullest potential.
