Title: Sony A100 Review
Verdict: Aiming a product at DSLR beginners, as much as existing Konica Minolta users, means ease of use and a stress-free transference of skill sets are required, and on those two counts the Sony A100 delivers. That start up time of just over a second, mere 3fps

Title: SONY DSLR-A100 digital SLR camera
Pros: The image stabilisation is achieved in the camera body rather than in the lens which means that supplementary lenses may be cheaper and even the legacy Minolta lenses benefit from the vibration reduction.
Cons: The kit lens is not up to the quality of the camera body. We would be looking seriously at buying the Sony body and the Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T 18-80 zoom.
Verdict: The Sony A100 feels just right in the hand, is very responsive and is intuitive to use. Anyone with Konica Minolta auto-focus lenses in their bag should look seriously at the Sony, it is a fine product of the marriage of the two companies.
Summary: The Sony DSLR-A100 is a 10.2 megapixel single lens reflex digital camera, evolved from the Konica Minolta DSLR technology acquired by Sony last year. The KM heritage is evident in the fact that Minolta auto-focus lenses will work with the Sony.

Title: Sony Alpha DSLR-A100K digital SLR (3.5mice)
Pros: Small size; full featured; very good image quality under most conditions; good lens selection; sensor-based stabilization.
Cons: Sensor-based stabilization is inferior to lens-based stabilization; lenses are expensive; autofocus mechanism is noisy; images look noisy from ISO 800-1600.

Summary: The Sony DSLR-Alpha 100K is a very good camera, albeit a little pricey. While it feels clunkier than its competitors, it delivers very good image quality and a full feature set, as well as some nice extras such as image stabilization.
