    I love my A100!

    I had a Canon Rebel XS DSLR a few years ago and I loved it. I never did anything professional, but I did and do take my photography pretty seriously. I ended up selling that camera and regretted it ever since then. With that camera I had pretty much the same accessories this kit comes with, and I had a 50mm f1.8 lens and tripod (which I already bought both of for the Sony!). I would say as far as ease of use, the Sony gets a 4/5 compared to the Canon's 5/5. The only difference really in terms of function is that the Canon had a live-view mode which made zooming in and manually focusing very easy. I do a lot of low to the ground shooting so using the eye-piece is difficult for me at 6' 4. With that said, I would say the Sony is a little better build quality and the body itself fits my big hands really well. In terms of value, I think the Sony blows the Canon out of the water. I couldn't find a kit for the Canon equivalent for anywhere near this price, and the Canon kit only comes with the 35-55 lens. The accessories for the Canon (and Nikon) cameras tend to be a little bit cheaper, just because they are more plentiful, but also keep in mind that you can buy adapter plates to use other lenses, AND you can use Minolta lenses on a Sony DSLR. Huge plus. The imagine quality is standard for a 10MP crop sensor DSLR. With that said, it is excellent. Easily on par with my Canon camera. I do definitely recommend buying at least one lens outside of the kit lenses. The common lens for a beginner that is of great quality and value is the 50MM f/1.8. It is a lens that can usually be found for $100 or so and offers a very fast optic, with very good quality. Keep in mind though that a 50MM lens on a cropped sensor like these equates closer to the 65MM mark, so it isn't necessarily good for tight quarter shoots. If I had to pick some negatives for the camera, definitely a big one for me is that there is no live-view LCD mode, at least not that I can find. Something else that is a tad annoying is that Sony decided to make the SD cards unique to Sony products and the USB is also unique to Sony products. Not a big deal, but something to keep in mind. I had a USB cord that while it did plug into the camera, still did not work for transferring photos. Also, there is no option to save JPEG + RAW, all I can find is either JPEG or RAW. I don't have Lightroom or Photoshop, so RAW files don't work for me even though I would much prefer to shoot with it. All in all, I love this camera and I am very very happy with my choice to go with Sony this time around. I have a feeling I will be with this camera for a good bit of time! P.S.- For budget minded enthusiasts, a great photo-editing app is online and called pixlr. It offers a good bit of the features that Photoshop offeres, and it is free!

    Sony SLR Camera

    There were no lenses included with this camera. In order to use the camera, means that $500-$1,000 would need to be spent for these essential items. I cannot write a fair review as I cannot actually use the camera as is. Thank you.

  • Good value. Many Minolta AF lenses to choose from.

    The Sony a100 is a great buy for under 100$, specially if you have Minolta AF lenses. The auto focus is not the fastest because the focusing motor is in the camera, not in the lens. The antishake is handled by the camera body like in the Pentax D series. It does not handle low lighting situations as well as newer DSLRs. You still get a very good 10 mega pixel camera for the price.

  • A great replacement for my Minolta Maxxum 5000i.

    This Sony is based on the technology that they got when they bought Minolta. I have a Minolta Maxxum 5000i and the lenses that I have for this film camera will work with this Sony digital. Many of the controls and the feel of the cameras are the same so it was the natural choice for me. The only thing that took me a bit to figure out was the memory card that it uses. I had thought that it was a SD card but it turned out to be a CF card which are readily available.

  • Love this camera , really was like new condition .

    Great camera , very solidly built , my first digital was an a100 , Gave it to my Spanish student as she was taking a photography course and needed a decent camera . Best thing is my Minolta lenses fit on this unit so no need to buy any new ones . Took the camera , the first one , to Spain , got lots of amazing shots , love this camera . I also have a Nikon D3400 and a Canon 60 D . Some photos taken with the a100 while I was in Spain .

  • Just as described

    When I first got into photography many years ago this was my first big deal camera I bought it when the Sony alpha first came out throughout the years I ended up having to get rid of it so when I saw this come up for sale I had to have it for nostalgic reasons I was super happy to find out that it was in perfect condition and works exactly as a new one did at a great price.
