Sony A100 and A700- 24mp File Size Shootout
Sony Alpha A100 and A700- 24 Megapixel File Size Shootout
August 2010, Carl Garrard
| Yesterday I posted a bit on the A100 and what you could do with a raw file when resizing using ACR, using a sharp lens, and sharpening the image properly. SKB recommended that I try a side by side shot doing the same with the A100 and A700. So I did. The idea is to see the massive detail capability of the A100 and the A700 vs. the A900's 24mp native resolution by upsizing the A100 and A700 files in ACR/CS2. | ![]() |

The result of the A100 file is stunning. So I decided I better set up the scene again and shoot with both cameras to satisfy more curiosity. Lets see how the A700 compares to the A100 using the same methods exposure and lens, and how it ultimately compares to the resolution of the A900. This is an exercise of curiosity as well as flat out results, nothing scientific here. I think A100 and A700 owners will appreciate seeing these results and what they can do at home.

A700- Skipping Control Wheel Issue
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.

A-700 does high speed Photography

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.
Sony Alpha A700 Review
Alpha A700 Semi-Professional DSLR- The "User-Friendly" King of DSLRS
AlphaMountWorld brings you our updated Alpha A700 Camera production Digital SLR Review
January, 2008 Carl Garrard
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.
