Sony Alpha DSLR-A900 video tour

We're pleased to present a short video tour of the Sony Alpha DSLR-A900. This demonstrates the A900's design, screen, controls and Intelligent Preview system.

There's no need to download any new software - just press the play button in the middle of the screen below and wait for the video to start; you may need to press the button twice. The quality and any delay before playing may vary depending on your internet connection.








Good points

Technically highest resolution to date.
Built-in image stabilisation.
Superb viewfinder with 100% coverage.
Quick handling and 5fps shooting.

Bad points
More noise than rivals above 400 ISO.
No Live View or movie function.
Upper information screen very basic.
Tendency to underexpose in our tests.
