A review of the Sony Alpha 100 DSLR was completed by PopPhotography where they write, 'The A100 provides the highest image quality of any DSLR for under $1,000—thanks, no doubt, to its 10.2MP (effective) CCD and Sony's years of experience making APS-format sensors and advanced image processing systems for Nikon, Pentax, and Konica Minolta DSLRs.'

Conclusions on the Sony Alpha 100 DSLR were summed up as, 'Any photographer looking for awesome image quality and an image-stabilized digital SLR at a decent price. Also for Konica Minolta fans who want to keep using their lenses.'
