First post from an Alpha A700 owner

So back in November I wrote and posted a review for my Sony Alpha A700 dSLR.

I posted the review at epinions.com, in case you haven't heard of that site, here's the short version. Epinions is a place where real everyday people can post reviews on the products they own. The site has just about everything from music, to toasters, from things for the baby to flat panel TVs. Not a bad site, it has changed a few times, and changed hands a couple of times. At the moment ebay owns it, and has done absolutely nothing with it.

Anyway, here's the Link to my original review. At that point I had owned the camera for about three weeks. If anything it was an early review. Ah the A700... something as fun to use, potentially complex, and as flexible as this camera is, I was bound to make little discoveries as I continued to own and use this fine piece of equipment.

Since my original review of Nov 2007, I've changed my style and attitude somewhat. And when I've noticed things that I like or dislike about the A700 it never made sense to keep changing my original review. Writing a kind of running diary or blog seems to make more sense.

So what will I be yackin' about? Well the Alpha A700, What I like, don't like, what makes sense and what doesn't. Also tips that have worked for me and my thoughts on Sony, their history, and what I believe is in store for the digital SLR market now that they are a player in the game.
