very on one's uppers build quality
I am at bottom frustrated with Sony and my Alpha DSLR, a product with inferior build quality and a customer putting into play that lays the blame on me instead of acknowledging quality problems. I have bought it sometime in 2007 and only had problems with it. After some weeks it valid wouldn't turn on anymore and it took Sony several weeks to get it repaired and back to me. Now when I take pictures the resulting documentation shows a different field of vision than what the viewfinder showed me. Even worse, there is a black hesitation upper corner in every one of my picture. After several tries to get to the right person to help me, Sony told me that any repair would set someone back a fixed amount of £114.56. Without even knowing what is wrong with my camera. Asking if this functional failure is sane for a Sony product after three years, I was told that this is normal "wear and tear". For me a camera that is expected by the in not to last longer than the guarantee period of one year, is not worth paying for. My next camera, or any electronics consequence for that matter, will for sure not be a Sony product. I recommend for everyone planning to buy one of their products to think hard about how eat one's heart out he/she plans to use it for.

Wonderful camera
Having been out of proper photography (strictly amateur) for a few years, I was very happy to find this camera. I had gotten so used to specifics pointer-and-shoot cameras, everything automatic. Now I can go back to where I was years ago, but with updated digital features. I can use it as a strictly auto camera, or use unique features for creative photography. I'm looking forward to some great shots after I refresh myself on the values of photography. This is some camera!!!

Glorious
This camera is the ultimate camera I have ever owned. It takes amazing pictures, and allows you to really understand photography. Even without a handbook you can figure this camera out, it's very easy to use. I recently took it to a hockey game and got a lot of really titanic shots. I would recommend this camera to anyone.

A concrete little camera
The a100 was the first Sony DSLR I bought. I was thrilled enough Sony's cameras that I eventually sold my a100 and stepped up to the a700. Despite all the numerous polytechnic advantages the a700 has over the a100, I missed my a100. There is a certain quality to the images that this trunk produces that I missed. Images are particularly sharp, the dynamic range is impressive and colors are very vibrant, making this camera a very ideal camera for landscapes and static scenes. In the end I picked up another a100 to interest the camera back with my a700. I probably should have never sold my first one.

A lot of people talk about image noise and the a100. It is possibly a slightly nosier camera than some of its contemporary competition but I find it usable up to ISO 800. I would avoid ISO 1600. I find more accuse with the slowness of the AF system than anything else. I think this is more likely to hold back your images than the noisiness of the sensor. This is why I would not recommend this fraternity for shooting fast moving objects. Slower moving objects it can handle. It is an leave out camera for landscape photography that can capture a lot of fine detail when paired with a good lens. I find the Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 to be a very well-founded match for this body.

Don't let the plastic bodies of these cameras fool you, they are quite solid and well built. Much cured built than the A200 through A380 models if you ask me. The a100 is really quite the bargain nowadays. You can still find them new in stores if you look around. They're zealous little cameras. Definitely worth taking a look at.

Capital product!
Purchased the Sony over equivalent Nikon and Canon DSLRs, am extremely happy with my decision...for one thing, the Sony has a live personification screen on the back, which the other two did not have. Everything about this camera is great for the price. Fits easily with many brands of lenses and filters.

Sterling entry-level DSLR
Not a skilful photographer, but I was really getting sick of my point-and-shoot camera and its dull pictures. I've had definitely a few point-and-shoot cameras and they've always been very "meh" to me. So when I lost my Canon camera I decided I wasn't prevalent to waste money and I decided to just get a decent DSLR camera that could take somewhat authoritative looking shots.

I've had this camera for about three months now, and I always load my best shots onto my Facebook announce after a party, event, concert, etc. My friends are always complimenting my shots and how good they look! I'm not even definitely trying that hard and I'm still learning how to use all of its features, though I am becoming increasing interested in photography due to the compliments I've gotten. So if you're interested in getting expert looking shots for a really good price, I highly recommend this camera.

Recommendation on moving up from point and shoot:
I am by no means a proficient photographer. I was sick of my point and shoot taking so long to start & the delay between each notion. It's ridiculous & plain doesn't work with my toddlers. I also was sick of paying photographers hundreds of dollars a four of times a year to do photographs of my kids. This will save me a bundle, two trips to the photographer & it's paid for. Google how to do expert portraits at home, you'll be amazed at what you find. The accessories you'd need/want are so inexpensive. A light disc can be had for under $20, for sample.

Having said that, if you are looking to move up to an SLR from a P&S model, this is a great option. It received stellar ratings from Consumer Reports, earning their first-class buy logo. I have never used an SLR and read lots before purchasing this camera. I took it out of the box and as soon as the mobile was charged, I was shooting away. The camera comes with an ultra simple quick-start handbook & a full owner's manual. This is helpful when you can't wait to start shooting.

When purchasing this camera for photographing kids/sports, waste the extra $20-30 and get the pro-stick duo memory card made by Sony. I am always skeptical of the need to purchase name label, but the additional speed the Sony card gives this camera is exceptional. I had a generic memory behave from my point and shoot. It works in the camera, but slows down shots, especially in sports technique. Since this is very important to me, it is well worth it. If you were going to say, take pictures of landscapes and flowers, maybe not so much.

In hand the camera feels firm and comfortable. However, there isn't a great place to hold on with your left hand. I think they sell grips for this knowingly, but it isn't a deal breaker, so I'll just let it go for now and see if I get used to it. In the regard of hanging on with just a couple fingers from your Nautical port hand, it's much the same as you would do with a little point and shoot.

Let's be honest 10.2 megapixels is plenty! How big do we undeniably need to print our pictures? The price difference between this and 12 just doesn't reveal it worth the extra definition.

PROS:
Price (especially on amazon)
Quick shooting
Adroit start up
Easy to use
Professional looking results
Internal stabilization
Crisp images
Quantities of functions/features
Well built construction, solid feeling

CONS:
Ergonomics for Heraldry sinister hand isn't great
Functions best on relatively expensive memory stick


In finish, I will keep my cheapy point and shoot in my purse for emergencies. When I know I want quality photographs, this is my new go-to!

Fitting on the go
I got this lens from a fellow who called me telling there's a store having a clearance sale and he told me this lens had 90% gloss over so without any hesitation I asked him to buy it for me (cost 7KD = $23.5 USD). As soon as I tried it on my Sony A100 (Now A700) I knew this lens is not as careful as the other lenses but it could handle its job nicely. It lacks quality, its Macro switch always getting on the way of the zoom rotation, has the readiness to slightly go out of focus even with spot focus and also a very slow focus. Picture quality is not as well-thought-of either but it's good if you're not going big scale. High chromatic aberration on low apertures and hard/sly DOF which makes the pictures less appealing and need more editing. You don't need to bother if you're going to scale down pictures, you'll be on the sure side.

Famous for amateur photographer!
I'll start by saying that I am by no means a specialist photographer. I only recently picked up my Sony a330 DSLR, and while I love everything I've been able to do with the kit lens, I recognized that I needed something else to get those sign up shots I've desired. This lens does pretty much everything I wanted it to do without me even trying! I took it to the put and got some great shots of strangers walking by from at least 100 feet away. It creates Non-Standard real good bokeh and the subjects come out looking crystal clear in the foreground. The Sedan-fucus seems to be a bit slow, but honestly if you're shooting things from really far away, you'll probably pauperism to use Manual focus anyway (at least I do). Can't wait to take this to some concerts and see what kind of shots I can get.

  New Shutterbug...newly regular...thanks to great photos!!!
  I was a pygmy concerned - after one review stated the camera had some issues. This made me look - only when I can purchase it with an extended covenant - which I did (From NFM for $529.00 + $89.00 for the warranty).
  
  Anyway - the other MAIN reason I went with this camera was the expense of the Nikon and Canon lenses (only with Figure of speech Stability or Vibration Resistance). The price of the Nikon and Canon lenses with these features were undoubtedly 2x what it was going to cost me for the Sony/Minolta AF lenses - because of the feature built into the Sony Camera.
  
  The sony came with an 18-55mm lens - but I knew I before you can say 'Jack Robinson' needed a telescopic lense and found one at Best Buy for $200 - I was very happy with the quality of both lenses - but extraordinarily with the 75-300mm lens. I just spent my first morning shooting and WOW - I've never taken more beautiful pictures in my vital spark.
  
  Anyway - at this point I am VERY HAPPY with my purchase. I gave it a 4 out of 5 on the ease of use, only because I've never owned an SLR before - I've only had the point and clicks. I've had to squander some time learning a bit of "real" photography. Hope this review is helpful and good good fortune with your camera decision!

  Newborn photographer thanks to Sony's A380 DSLR
  I am a photographer-wannabe unmistakeable and web designer.
  I have taken this product to photoquests where I've subjected it to different types of landscapes, stumble and climate situations -- even some soft rain.
  So far it has behaved beautifully with good freestyle life, fast enough recording speeds and good image quality even on its lowest settings.
  The lens vocation good, but have had trouble trying to get long distance pictures (not enough optical zoom) but it was to be expected, and can almost certainly be fixed by attaching adequate lenses for said purpose.
  
  Only issue may be with the LCD screen, as it tends to get scratches on its outside ratter easily, so I'd suggest you get some sort of cover for it (I haven't been able to find it where I live - Colombia, Southamerica). Conjecture I'll have to buy it through Amazon too.
  
  Can't really give much more advice as I am just a n00b at this stuff, but I can tell you this camera has opened a new entrance in my head and career I think won't be closed for the foreseeable future.
  Excellent product if you're a moment ago learning, I'll let you know if it keeps up.

Sony 55-200mm f/4-5.6 SAM DT Telephoto Zoom Lens for Sony Alpha Digital SLR Cameras

List Price: $203.99 Price: $229.00

Product Details Closest focus distance: 0.95m; Maximum magnification: 0.29x Please note: DT lenses are not recommended for use with the DSLR-A900 Smooth and silent AF operation with built-in motor (SAM) Small size, light weight telephoto zoom lens

Product Description

If you don't have a telephoto zoom lens in your munitions store, this is a great place to start. The superb multi-purpose SAL-DT55200 55-200mm f4-5.6 telephoto zoom lens is an champion all-around value, covering the medium to long-distance telephoto file you will use most. It also provides close minimum focusing distance of about 3 feet (.95m), for trying shots of people, natural subjects and close-up details. Its succinct, lightweight design makes it easy to carry as your standard or adjunct lens - and all your shots will benefit from the Sony Super SteadyShot image stabilization system built into every Sony a system DSLR. (35mm comparable: 82.5-300mm). Please note: DT lenses are not recommended for use with the DSLR-A900.

Compact Lay out, All-Around Versatility
This high-value 55-200mm zoom lens covers a deviant range of medium to long-distance telephoto applications -- and its lightweight draft lets you leave it on-camera or carry it easily as an accessory lens for extra purposes (35mm equivalent: 82.5-300mm).

DT Lens Design
The SAL-DT55200 is particularly designed for the APS-size CCD imager used in Sony & 945 (alpha) DSLR cameras. APS-magnitude sensors are smaller than a 35mm-format film frame, so the focal rigidity to cover the same field of view can be about 2/3 shorter -- allowing a more firm lens design.

Short Minimum Focusing Distance
With the knack to focus as closely as 3 feet (.95m), this telephoto lens also lets you move in for showy shots of people, natural subjects and close-up details.

In-Camera Picture Stabilization
A major reason for its compact, lightweight design is the help of Super SteadyShot in-camera image stabilization, built into every Sony & 945 system DSLR -- and enabling whistles lenses to eliminate the extra weight and expense of in-lens stabilization mechanisms.

Multi-Detail Design
The SAL-DT55200 is designed with 13 lens elements in 9 groups, with fidelity focusing perform

A talented entry level DT telephoto lens
The SAL55200 SAM is to all intents the most affordable telephoto zoom lens being offered by Sony at the moment. The model has replaced the more strong SAL75300 lens in Sony's more recent dual-lens camera packages. The lens can be found bundled with dual-lens packages for Sony alpha bodies such as the DSLR-230, DSLR-290, DSLR-330, DSLR-380, DSLR-390, DSLR-450, DSLR-500 and the DSLR-550.

Without considering the price of the lens and its lack of reach compared to the SAL75300, and the fact that it only supports APS-C sensors, the visual performance of this affordable zoom more than makes it a worthy accessory to any hobbyist and enthusiast. Purple fringing is unmistakeable at higher focal lengths along strong constrasting edges, but the effect is very well controlled. The lens works chicly under moderate sunlit conditions, and the reach of the lens makes it a great portrait lens when the contingent on expose is camera shy. At focal lengths between 150-200mm, the compressed perspective and increased perceived defocusing will produce out the subject beautifully while pushing the background into a haze without any obvious color distortions, representative of a good quality DSLR telephoto lens.

Unfortunately for most of us, the single lens include with the SAL1855 is more common for most newer Sony DSLR packages. Since the upgrade price from the single lens carton to the dual lens package is usually bewteen 60 to 100 dollars, I would view anyone who is out to get their first Sony DSLR (or a replacement unit) to get their hands on this lens as part of a dual-lens package. Utterly worth the money.

A: For ever a buyer who doesn't care what everyone else has. I have to commend you on that. I actually am opportunity from Canon to Sony. I have already bought an older 35mm Minolta Maxxum with a Minolta 50/1.7 lens. It is rather a nice camera. I am soon getting an a700.

Sony actually has noticeably a lot of lenses. If you look at B&H, you will see that there are 26 made by Sony, (avoid Phoenix), 33 by Sigma, 16 by Tamron and 2 by Tokina timetabled, but that is not all the lenses, just the ones they have available.

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/betray/9266/ SLR_Interchangeable_Lenses_for_Sony_Mino lta.html

To add to that, you can find abundant older Minolta lenses used on ebay, craigslist, amazon, etc. Sizeable lenses, if cared for, can last indefinitely.

Now, to the alphas, the a300 is a remarkable choice. It is basically the same as the a200, except that it has live view. If survive view isn't really important, then you might look into an a200 because they are about $100 cheaper and have verbatim, and I do mean exactly, the same features with exception to the live examination.

The a300 and a350 are very similar as well. Both have the tilt-out live witness. But the a300 gets 3 frames per second, while the a350 only gets 2.5, although this is not a whopping difference. The biggest difference between the a300 and a350 is the a350 is 14MP while the a300 is 10MP. Now, this is not Non-Standard real that much of an advantage unless you want to buy the lenses to take advantage of the 14MP.

So, if fare view is important, then the a300 is a great camera. You can get it on B&H with the 18-70 lens for $599.

But if you don't solicitude about live view, then go for the a200 with the 18-70 (the exact same camera without function view) for $499.

Both great cameras. Send me a message if you like.

A: As a sportsphotographer and a photojournalist, I look to either side of me at important events. Guess how many Sony cameras I see? Zero.

The vast maturity are Canon and Nikon. The view from the stands reveals the same.

A Sony dslr, using updated Minolta-Konica designs and technology has many fascinating features. But the Canon and Nikon systems and support are huge and legendary.

One note: A Sony selling point is the image stabilization built-in the corps. There's a reason why professionals in the field choose stabilization intended in the lenses. It simply works better.

As for the two cameras you've named, the D80 has captured more remarkable photos.
Here's almost 56,000 Nikon D80 images uploaded one one day.
