Super Sexy Sony Alpha Cheerleader Gallery Now Open - Sony Alpha a700 Does the Crush Girls in Milwaukee!!

Sonolta — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 22:18:26 -0500

The Sony Alpha a700 DSLR performed beyond my expectations in Milwaukee while covering the Rock River Raptors playing the Boncerushers in CIFL indoor football action. The Bonecrushers have a stunning dance team, and I am very happy the Sony a700 was able to capture the beauty and the enthusiasm of this awesome indoor football dance squad adequately.

Sony Alpha A700 Making the Money Shots Even at ISO 6400!!! Great Detail, Resolution, and Dynamic Range!!!!

Sony Alpha A700 ISO 6400

Holy smokes, folks, the Sony Alpha A700 is giving me
great detail all the way up to ISO 6400! All of the shots above were made at
ISO 6400 under normal room lighting conditions. No flashes, strobes, or spots,
and all of the shots are hand held. The lens used for all of the coin shots was the Minolta 50mm 1.7 plus
either 1 or 2 Konica Minolta CL49-200 close up filters on the end of the lens. I don't
know what the two magnification factors are for sure, but Minolta says the
filters are roughly a +5 and the image quality even stacked is terrific. What a
great lightweight Macro rig!

As you can see the Sony Alpha A700 has terrific
resolution and wide dynamic range even at the top ISO of 6400! The detail is
simply fantastic and the high end exposure latitude is nothing short of amazing!
These images will easily print to 24 inches or better and who is not happy that
sort of performance at ISO 6400! Wowza, simply put, I just love it.

images that also have 100% crops to view as well.

This Sony Alpha A700 ISO 6400 performance is so good in this sort of shooting condition I really do feel comfortable
shooting many types of Macros, in very dim conditions, without the aid of a flash.
Since I am not a flash guy, I could not be more pleased with this sort of
top end performance out the Sony DSLR-A700.

DIWA Labs Report Shows Sony A700 Tops Nikon D300 in Dynamic Range, Tonal Range, Color Fidelity, and Signal-to-Noise Ratio!

Sonolta — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 12:07:43 -0600

Hello folks, I usually prefer to keep all of
the testing, reports, and reviews I do in house, but in this particular
case I think the results of the Diwa Labs testing warrants me posting links to
those results here. Diwa Labs are the authors of the popular DXO software and
they also do comprehensive testing on a few of the latest camera releases. Diwa is very well respected in the photography industry.

Take a look at the plots below comparing the
Sony A700 to the Nikon D300 in key imaging areas. According to these plots the
Sony A700 is giving some incredible Dynamic Range, and is also besting the Nikon
D300 in Signal-to-Noise Ratio, Tonal Range, and Color Fidelity.

Sony A700 users may or may not be surprised
by the results, but FWIW, the results I have linked clearly do show the Sony A700 is
easily a match for the more expensive and non-image stabilized Nikon D300.
