So how did the A700 fare? From the introduction:
> Vår omfattende test, foretatt med DIWAs testprosedyre og DxO
> Analyzer testprogram, gir Sony Alpha 700 svårt god totalvurdering.
('Our extensive test, administered with DIWA test procedure and DxO Analyzer, grants Sony A700 with a very (or: extremely) good total evaluation.')
Things they really liked (a much more extensive listing to be found in the review conclusion):
* Robust, compact, light body with a good grip and many professional qualities
* Multi level noise reduction (sensor as well as processor)
* Big, bright viewfinder with rich info
* Low noise sensor
* Very good ergonomics with direct, dedicated controls
* Extremely fast AF for an in-body focusing motor
* External AF-light reaches more than 12 m
* Extremely great dynamic range at all ISO's
* Very accurate exsposure metering and very fine details at lower ISO's
* State-of-the-art LCD
Some minus'es pointed out:
* One top dial only
* Some extreme lenses missing from the line up
* No live view and LCD not flexible
* No top LCD
* No ISO in viewfinder
* Takes a little practice to get used to direct controls
* Moderate reach of built-in flash
* Some white balance problems in full daylight
* Standard zooms not good enough for this camera
* Better RAW conversion software is available than what is in the package
From the finan conclusion, how does A700 compare with D300, 40D, E3 and K20/GX-20:
> Alpha 700 står seg godt i denne konkurransen, og scorer særlig høyt
> på bildekvalitet og digital ytelse, samt ergonomi [...] med utsøkt
> bildekvalitet og et solid kamerahus som er en fryd å betjene, vil Alpha 700
> vinne mange venner.
('Alpha 700 does well in this competition and does particularly well in high IQ and digital performance as well as ergonomics [...] with an exquisite IQ and a solid body that is a thrill to work with, the Alpha 700 will winn many friends.')
The camera scores '81 pct.' overall, but test procedures are newly revised, so no comparison with other models possible at present.
