Sony Alpha DSLR A850 Review - Just Think Alpha A900 "Lite"

September 2009, Carl Garrard (Update 9-27 See Additional Commentary, Page 6)

Sony Alpha DSLR A850 Review - Just about a year ago today Sony announced the Alpha A900 DSLR, and nearly a year later its near twin cousin the Alpha A850 hits sales floors at 1/3rd less cost than the Alpha A900. The Alpha A850 is the worlds first full frame digital SLR to break the stubborn 2K sales price at release. There is no question about it, the Alpha A850 represents value. It is also the worlds highest resolution DSLR, sharing the 24.6 megapixel title only with the Alpha A900. If the Alpha A900 turned heads, then certainly the Alpha A850 must as well, yet this time it might make you pull out your wallet. This is a professionals tool, don't let the price fool you. Similar build, performance, and feature set are usually found at a much higher cost.

Sony Alpha DSLR A850 Announced- Brief Hands on Report

August 2009, Carl Garrard

It's suddenly getting really hot this summer with Sony introducing it's third DSLR today, the Sony Alpha DSLR A850. The big news here is that it is the worlds first full frame DSLR that is priced under $2,000.00 USD to be priced at $1,999.00 USD when it goes to sale in October. Sony's Alpha A850 is nearly identical to the Alpha A900 yet it is obviously more affordable and has a few changes in the feature set and exterior finish. I had a chance to preview the Alpha A850 with Sony side by side with the Alpha A900. There are only two visible differences on the outside of the A850 when compared to the Alpha A900. A new flat black finish, and of course the new Alpha A850 Logo. There are a couple performance differences as well beneath the skin of the A850. Sony Alpha DSLR A850
