I liked the way images from it in low or contrasty light looked like the scene I was photographing straight out of the camera, rather than like the scene taken in flat bright daylight, like the D700, Canon 5D and other very capable full frame cameras tend to, and the general film-grain look of its noise when it became apparent. But the lens range is limiting and I wouldn't buy one just on the principle that if I need to use a tilt-shift lens, or a 14 mm lens, or whatever, I can easily hire one for a Nikon, whereas I cannot for a Sony here in Australia. I can also easily mount a D700 on any of my microscopes with a Nikon built C-Mount adaptor, whereas I looked and as far as I can tell no such thing exists for the Minolta-Sony mount. Maybe it does, but I couldn't find one.
