 A solid little camera February 6, 2010
B. Murphy (US)
The a100 was the first Sony DSLR I bought. I was pleased enough Sony's cameras that I eventually sold my a100 and stepped up to the a700. Despite all the numerous technical advantages the a700 has over the a100, I missed my a100. There is a certain quality to the images that this body produces that I missed. Images are particularly sharp, the dynamic range is impressive and colors are very rich, making this camera a very ideal camera for landscapes and static scenes. In the end I picked up another a100 to share the camera back with my a700. I probably should have never sold my first one.
A lot of people talk about image noise and the a100. It is maybe a slightly nosier camera than some of its contemporary competition but I find it usable up to ISO 800. I would avoid ISO 1600. I find more fault with the slowness of the AF system than anything else. I think this is more likely to hold back your images than the noisiness of the sensor. This is why I would not recommend this body for shooting fast moving objects. Slower moving objects it can handle. It is an excellent camera for landscape photography that can capture a lot of fine detail when paired with a good lens. I find the Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 to be a very good match for this body.
Don't let the plastic bodies of these cameras fool you, they are quite solid and well built. Much better built than the A200 through A380 models if you ask me. The a100 is really quite the bargain nowadays. You can still find them new in stores if you look around. They're great little cameras. Definitely worth taking a look at.
My first DSLR July 31, 2009
Jean-Pierre du Bois (Rohnert Park, CA.)
I love the way it feels in my hand. I looked for weeks for a DSLR nd for the price and what I read this was it. Im thinking of upgrading the body I have 5 lenes and I like the a350 but I am also looking into the 700. But for a starter SLR you can't beat the a100.
Great entry level camera June 21, 2009
vr (San Jose, CA)
Have been using for almost 3 years now and it is a great performer, especially for landscape/nature photography. Anti-shake is wonderful and makes up for the not top of the line iso handling.
One other plus is the compatibility with all the minolta gear, including both lenses and flashes.
 good camera, however April 16, 2009

I can't say that the pictures are worth the weight and bulk of the camera, and all the editing I have to do. It does take nice pictures, but they lack that "wow". I find they're kind of flat. So I sold it and bought a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 which I find takes excellent pictures without all the tinkering, but you can tinker if you want.
I guess if you're a professional, you can get excellent pictures out of this Sony Alpha A100, but it would take alot of tinkering , and for the price, weight and bulk, and editing, it's just not worth it to me.
 nice camera December 17, 2008
Hawk6169 (NH, USA)
this is a great camera. beware that some times when you take a picture it will freeze the camera and you will need to remove the battery. other than that, this is a great camera. i recommend sony, since the anti-shake is in the body, where other companies put it in expensive lenses. if you dont want to deal with the freezing of the camera, then go with a newer model, but i recommend staying with a sony. they have features that some other companies didn't put in there cameras.
