(a) the industry is crazy and thinks it must have bigger numbers to compete, and I think sensor density will peak out at ~48 megapixels for 35mm full frame - ~2x the current Sony chip - because So, we buy the A900 for total detail density, we buy the A350 for comparative detail density for our APS lenses, and we buy the A700 because we like it. Sony Alpha DSLR-A700: 12.2 million effective pixels = LEAST (in this comparison) Sony Alpha DSLR-A350: 14.2 million effective pixels = waay less Sony Alpha DSLR-A900: 24.6 million effective pixels = MOST Sony Alpha DSLR-A900: 2.9 MP/cm² pixel density = LEASTīut, if we want full frame, or of we will select our lenses in consideration of the sensor size (not the reverse where we pick the lens first), then the A900 offers more pixels in the original capture image. Sony Alpha DSLR-A700: 3.3 MP/cm² pixel density = a bit less Sony Alpha DSLR-A350: 3.8 MP/cm² pixel density = MOST If first we have one specific lens, and then we go shopping for a camera body, then this below is the order of pixel density that offers details in an original APS-size image capture: But, it's even greater for the A350, by the way - why not mention that? Look, the number of original master pixels in the desired image capture is all that matters, capture detail wise.Ĭomparing the Sony Alpha DSLR-A700 and the Sony Alpha DSLR-A900, the number of pixels across the APS image size is greater for the A700. Only GLASS can bring telephoto or magnification powers! (Though digital magnification like Genuine Fractals is interesting, it's not dealing with original capture image detail. We HAVE to stop believing that APS sensors are better than full-frame sensors "because APS sensors give us telephoto or magnification powers".

Soon I'll upload full size JPGs to my Flickr (they're all 11mb or smaller 6,048 x 4,032 pixels, and you can peep at the original JPGs, just not the Raw version - 459 mb total) and let you look around the store - the first 67shots from Sony Alpha DSLR-A900 Product # 71001 - SN:0501461-3.
However, there's no direct competition anyway - no other full-frame Alpha Mount Camera at the moment. I'm sure I'd get used to it, but there are a lof of controls I've never needed before, and a lot of controls without dedicated knobs. it's the DOFP button, but then the camera stayed forever stuck in the tweaks I applied to what I thought would be be ONLY the next capture! Weird. I must say AF-C is TOO fast - I have no confidence that I actually got ALL THOSE FRICKIN' PICTURES! Wow - impressive, even with my slow 120x CF card (formatted as FAT16, so maybe that explains the scarily fast capture sequence speed, Raw+JPG?).įirst he handed me an APS lens, then an old Minolta 28-80 D that was sadly abused, then he opened a new Sony 50mm Macro - nice, but impossible to zoom with! -) It got stuck in close focus, but then freed up and never misbehaved again. Note, Gary at Penn Camera Tyson's Corner Vienna Virginia US finally OPENED the Sony Alpha DSLR-A900 box and let me play (and went over it with celo-tape to remove all finder prints before reboxing it!).
Now, which segment am I? That is the only remaining question. I can see the segment of the photographer marketplace that each hits perfectly.

I am also comparison shopping, and I cannot find equivalent cameras to the Sony Alpha series - they are each incomparable, even to each other.
