Review: A fine DSLR that's good to use as well as having competitive functionality and excellent technical performance - I've used a film SLR for most of my photographic life. Then a few years ago I got into digital, and have had two Nikon Coolpix (including the splendid twisty-bodied 4500) and then an Olympus semi-SLR (the 8080 wide zoom, with bend-out LCD screen). Someone stole the Olympus. What should I do? I was very tempted by the Sony DSC-R1, with it's live twisty LCD and excellent lens. And there is tremendous competition now amongst SLR suppliers, with new announcments from all the majors. But I chose the Sony, and after five days and many hundreds of pictures I'm very pleased with the camera. You can read about its technical performance at [...] What I can add is that this excellent performance is easy and inviting to make use of. The focussing screen is clear, crisp, and bright. I find I often want to use manual focus, and can switch back and forth from manual to auto by simply moving a switch. And there's a depth-of-field preview easy to hand. These controls are typical- what you want is to hand, and works logically (at least, as I expect). With the Olympus after a year's use I was still going back to the manual to find how to do things. The Sony feels familiar after five days. The camera feels good to hold- a good grip is a huge help with avoiding camera shake, which this camera helped further by an antishake system that works with all lenses. And then there are the twiddly bits- for example the fact that the autofocus switches on and the LCD switches off when I bring the camera to my eye (although I find the camera can mistake my chest for my eye when I have it round my neck), and that the LCD image stays upright whether you have the camera horizontal or vertical. These as well as the advantages you expect from this generation of DSLR- instant start-up, very quick reaction to pressing the button, and if you want it three frames a second until you've run out of space on the card (in .jpg). I was pleasantly surprised to find that the standard kit zoom gets you pretty close up to a flower or an insect, and does this at maximum zoom so that you don't find your shadow is interfering with the picture. My first "extra" has been a secondhand Minolta AF 1.7 50mm standard lens, which I have found excellent for snapping people indoors by available light (find your way round Minolta lenses for the Sony at [...] I miss the infra-red remote control supplied with the Olympus (there's a long and a short wired control for the Sony, but at large additional cost). And I'm sure I'll miss the ability to sight a picture down low or up high using a twisty LCD screen. And in some quiet "candid camera" situations the clunk of the mirror which is part of a true SLR can draw attention. But for me the advantages, starting with composing pictures on that fine focussing screen, far outweigh these losses.
Review: Great Beginners Camera - I had this Camera as my first DSLR, it was fantastic. I used it all around the UK and took it with me when I took my motorbike all around Europe. I came off in poor conditions in the alps and there was condensation in the camera / lens but the camera was fine as it was well protected. I thought I was faced with a pricy bill when I made it from switzerland over to italy but I simply wore the camera bag around while I rode around and to my surprise to condensation cleared perfectly! So great build, Sony definitely make the best cameras with Carl Zeiss Optics and built in image stabilisation. The other makes seemed a bit plasticky and just didnt have the same quality as the Sony Cameras, not to mention the image stabilisation. My only complaint about the sony was that compared to newer models the screen isnt so clear especially in sunny conditions. But with this you will definitely learn how to use an SLR and take some great pictures.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have a dslr sony a350 with sal55300 lens i take moon shots with. i think it's d-type model. will my lens fit this a100?**
A: Hi Paul,

Your lens is compatible with this camera with some restrictions. You can find more information about that and other compatible lenses with this camera here: http://bit.do/fQRBj (copy and paste the link into your web browser).

Sony support team

**Q: can the camera accept minolta rokor lenses**
A: Minolta Rokkor Lenses had MC, or MD mountings (the lens should have these letters around the lens somewhere...usually after the focal length). These lenses will only fit the Sony Alpha 100 (or any Alpha series Sony) with an adaptor, of which many are available online, of varying quality, and some can be pricey. The Alpha 100 can use any Minolta AF lens however, and these are good quality, plentiful and cheap secondhand (even though the construction ...mostly from plastic...can seem a bit insubstantial). So, if you have  Minolta Rokkor Lenses with and MD, or MC mount from the Minolta X-700, or SRT ranges or earlier, they will not fit the A100 without an adaptor.

**Q: Is there space for a tripod attachment, microphone and does it video?**
A: You can use glue if you want, but there is a little female screw attachment that any tripod will fit right into no problem. I am not sure about video, as the later Sony models do have a video feature also I  not so sure about a microphone attachment either. I mainly used it for photographs which it is perfect for. In fact a photo of a shuttle taking off shot by someone with an a100 made it into National Geographic.

**Q: Will a100 lens fit new a7r11.**
A: Hi,
You can find all the compatible lenses with the A7RM2 in the following link: http://clc.am/mXd8Fg (copy and paste the link into your web browser).
The A100K was supplied with the SAL1870 and SAL18200, both lenses can be used with the A7RM2 but with a mount adaptor in between and based on the mount adaptor you're using there will be restrictions on shooting. You can find all these details if you press on the lens in the compatibility page.
Hope this helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Beginners Camera
*by M***N on 6 January 2010*

So great build, Sony definitely make the best cameras with Carl Zeiss Optics and built in image stabilisation. The other makes seemed a bit plasticky and just didnt have the same quality as the Sony Cameras, not to mention the image stabilisation. My only complaint about the sony was that compared to newer models the screen isnt so clear especially in sunny conditions. But with this you will definitely learn how to use an SLR and take some great pictures.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent first DSLR
*by D***S on 28 June 2013*

The A100 is an excellent first camera, its a great camera for learning and beginners.This camera gives excellent results and the only issue I have found is ISO is only usable upto 800 unless you require grain in your photos. This camera is quite large which I find better having large hands and you feel like you are carrying a solid built camera.This camera is quite old now so it doesn't have many of the features of a modern camera such as live view but if you can with out that it still makes for an excellent DSLR.
