Sony Alpha A700: Review

Amazon - https://amzn.to/41htTlo Sony's semi pro level APS-C DSLR was released in 2007, after the A100 came out, offering a newer 12MP CMOS sensor, faster 5fps shooting, a more durable magnesium alloy body and a host of other improvements. It was also the update to the Minolta Dynax/Maxxum 7D, with a new 11 point AF system and 1/8000s shutter speed, it was better suited to action photography. In this video, I take a modern up to date look at the A700, provide you with a detailed tour of this body, my shooting experiences with it, and a discussion about areas I like and dislike on the camera. This was Sony's only APS-C Pentaprism DSLR (the follow up A77 was an SLT/EVF design), other models used a smaller Pentamirror viewfinder.
