Good canera for all around use, lots of goodies in the dials.

Very easy to shoot good quality pics.The menu system is easy to navigate and a beginner can figure tham out with a bit of study. It has a fixed LCD or a the view finder which is ok as I can't find a live view mode.
All in all a good camera for the beginner to andvanced mid level user.Read full review...

Sony alpha a 100

I wish it would have come with a manual. The fact the digital cards are no longer made is tough. I hope to find a memory card that can retro fit. Needed to by a special flash shoe to use a larger flash.Read full review...

Sony DSLR A100

The A100 is easy to operate, I don't care for how it uses the flash to aid in focus adjustment. The stock 18-70mm lens is ok, but I believe better glass would make a huge difference. Sony does not provide a downloadable version of the RAW photo viewer, enhancer and convertor. Battery life is not as long as I thought it would be, it could be I have a battery that is about to fail. Photo's are very clear, adjustments are easy to understand. Someone who wants to take time to understand or recall how film slr cameras were used can have a ball with this camera as it is very adjustable. I bought this for my wife, my camera is a Sigma D14, this Sony does not take as clear a photo...but I have better glass than the 18-70 mm lens. a neat thing is that it may be set up to focus as your eye nears the eye piece, not requiring you to push the shutter button half way down. Photo viewing on the screen is nice, but it is much better to review your shots on a home computer. The size is great, a lot smaller than my SigmaRead full review...

Sony alpha DSLR A100

If you are making the transition from a SLR to a DSLR, this is a good starter camera. There are too many features to list on this camera. I guess one of the best features is that you can look at the pictures you take right away. If you don't like it, erase it. Another good feature is the fact that you don't have to wait for your film to be developed. With the Sony Alpha series, you can still use the lenses from your Minolta SLR camera.Read full review...

Very good

The only issues are that the camera makes a whining noise while in operation, but it doesn't affect the quality at all. I'm also concerned that the flash does not work properly. In low light conditions, it has only come on once. That may be operator error because I was working on auto and not aware of the Fstop or Shutter speed. Still a great deal. Glad I bought it.Read full review...

Excellent pictures, easy to learn and use.

Purchased this used as my first Digital SLR, I have to say I am very pleased with piture quality, the instruction manual that comes with it is about as thich as a War & Peace novel, which at first can be very imtimidating, however, I found that once I got into it and started to figure out the various functions its actually very easy to learn. A very big PLUS to this camera is that AF lenses made for Minolta also work on this camera so you have a very large selection of lenses to choose from.Read full review...

Perfect Starter DSLR

I sold my Sony A100 a few years ago and moved onto more sophisticated digital cameras, but I just bought another one. The A100 is not only the PERFECT starter DSLR, but extremely easy to use, a great carry around camera, and a terrific buy at the prices found on ebay. While this camera does not have extensive features found on the more expensive DSLRs, it's versatile options can more than satisfy a person looking to move into the DSLR category. I use the Vivid mode and the results with the 18-70mm kit lens are spectacular with bright, vibrant, accurate photographs. The in-camera stabilization is a great feature not found on the other big brands. The unique knob, instead of a menu system, to select white balance, flash modes, ISO, etc. is a wonderful feature and very easy to use. It's basic but it's an excellent value.Read full review...

This is a great camera for the price

I'm very pleased with this camera, it's very easy to use in the auto setting, and also gives you the ability to used all the setting to give you all the manual setting you could ask for in a camera in this price range.Read full review...

Sony Dslr A-100

I was looking for a "real" camera and not just a point and shoot. Being on a fairly tight budget, I had reviewed all the new models and prices and decided to step back a generation or two and buy an older model to save money. The Sony A-100 was first released in 2006 and has built in stabilization, which I was looking for. So far, I absolutely love it. The pictures it takes in just simple pre-programmed modes are incredible. I haven't really started playing around with the manual settings, as I'm taking time getting to know the camera first but I am so very glad I made this purchase.Read full review...

Awesome church event photos. Great value for the money!

I'm a beginner and a friend who does events for a living said this would be a great camera for church events. This camera even for its age far surpass the other cameras I have been using. The price was right. The features for when I shot non-auto is great and also aloud me to shot more action photos than ever. I'm looking forward to getting one of the upgrades to this model as as possible.Read full review...
