Good: The feel and balance and handeling
Bad: Noise at the higher ISO settings
Comment: I have seen this camera with lens for £349 at argos
this is a give away
I paid £550 and it was cheap at that
the only thing is the noise on the higher iso settings
apart from that I can not knock it
If they bring out a pro camera then I will be waiting outside the store
But the thing feels so well when you handle it
the buttons are just as they should be
the back is shaped to fit the thumb
you can hang the thing from your fingers without fear of dropping it
I only give it a 9 because of the noise its quite a problem
if you shoot in low fight
a big plus is the anti shake in the body of the camera
so all lens fitted have this advantage
and not having to pay £££££££ extra to have it in each lens

Good: The ability to use existing Minolta lens
Bad: Not found anything as yet
Comment: Top value camera. Ideal for up stepping into digital, with a host of good quality lens available. I have found the battery life to be very good - I now no longer need half a Kilo of charged batteries to lug around all day!

Good: Price vs preferences
Bad: Expensive accessories
Comment: Not too much money for the value. It's not pro camera, but every pro could earn money with this Sony
