dSLR Dad

Doug Brown, Contributor and event photographer, has posted his field report of the Sony Alpha A700 dSLR (now shipping).

The A700 is a beautifully crafted photographic instrument. In my time with it I grew quite comfortable with the camera and found it’s output to be very dependable.
It’s tough, ergonomically well designed, intuitive to use (I still haven’t read the manual and yet managed to instantly come to grips with and even customize a lot of the camera’s features)
In action it’s fast and responsive. Changes are easily made as all of the important control inputs are via buttons and physical interfaces rather than menu-driven. The focusing is near instantaneous and very accurate.
