Sony A900 Camera Review
January 27, 2009
Filed under PHOTO GEAR
When designing the A900, Sony have apparently shied away from any technology or feature anyone has ever spoken of in a disapproving manner. Thus the camera lacks a pop-up flash, Live View and Eye-start AF. The omission of these – or at least the first two – is a pity. The lack of a pop-up flash, for instance, means that if you want to take advantage of the A900’s ability to wirelessly control off-camera system flashes, you will have to buy one of the new HVL-F58AM flashguns to act as commander, irrespective of how many earlier WL capable Minolta/Sony flash units you have already. Not that the HVL-F58AM is a bad investment.
