Sony Alpha DSLR-A700
Posted in DSLR
The new A700 is the latest Mid-Range DSLR from Sony. It shares many technologies with earlier Konica Minolta models (including, naturally, the lens mount), plus all those introduced in the A100 - though virtually all have been uprated or upgraded in one way or another (we've been told the A100 and A700 share virtually no components). From the sensor to the construction of the body to the GUI to the extensive feature set, this is a very different camera to the entry-level A100. This superb piece of equipment is suitable even for the most extreme of professionals today!
- 12.24 megapixel Exmor CMOS sensor

Bionz Image Processor
Continuing Sony's habit of slapping a daft name on every component is an all-new version of the Bionz image processor, optimized for the new CMOS sensor. Again, this is claimed to boost speed and features a two-stage RAW noise reduction system. The combination of fast sensor and fast processor mean the A700 can offer 5 frames per second for up to 18 raw 12MP files.
Thx for Sony and dpreview.
