A Must Have for Alpha 900/850 Users

 

This is perhaps the most important accessory made to accompany the Alpha 900 and 850 (works on both models). With the VGC90AM, the Alpha 900 becomes much better stabilized and easier to handle especially when shooting with large and heavy lenses such...

SERIOUS DESIGN FAULT

 

Unfortunately, contact area of base is too narrow to adequately accept hammerhead flashgun brackets such as Metz 45 CL-4 digital causing misalignment of strobe and lens, resulting in only partial illumination of subject (please see attached photos).

Not disappointed

 

"I bought a Minolta D7 along with the camera grip available at the time and found it indispensible. When I bought the A900 I was hoping the grip would be at least as good. I was very happy when I got it out of the box. It is heavy, but build quality is...

Great build quality, well laid out, I like the dual battery indicator on camera
