Comments about Sony Sony Alpha A390 14.2 Megapixel DSLR Camera with 18-55mm Lens with Tiltable 2.7 inch Clear Photo LCD Plus Display, High Sensitivity ISO 3200:

Was set on the Canon G12 then I read reviews, switched to Nikon D7000. Both had issues.
What I really wanted was 1). a viewfinder; 2). changeable lens, 3). a system that was going to be around and which had levels of quality. After reading a bunch of reviews I picked the Sony A390.
I've been very pleased with my choice. Satisfied with the quality, sharpness and ease of use. At a recent family event I thought my pics better than my daughter-in-law's Canon Rebel! Usable fine Minolta lens available as well, a plus!

Comments about Sony Sony Alpha A390 14.2 Megapixel DSLR Camera with 18-55mm Lens with Tiltable 2.7 inch Clear Photo LCD Plus Display, High Sensitivity ISO 3200:

I have not had a single focus issue as I did with my previous dslr, it even focuses in low light and with 800 iso I have captured shots I would not have gotten with my previous camera, which was less than 2 years old. I thought at first this was a downgrade from that camera, but I sold that one and kept this one as my every day camera. OVF is pretty poor only negative.

Comments about Sony Sony Alpha A390 14.2 Megapixel DSLR Camera with 18-55mm Lens with Tiltable 2.7 inch Clear Photo LCD Plus Display, High Sensitivity ISO 3200:

This camera is a fine addition to my photo arsenal. it makes for an easy transition from 35mm to digital. I am pleased to see that Sony has continued the high quality standards that i have always found in Minolta's film cameras. It is far superior to others in it's price range. I love it. Can't think of anything negative about it. Buy it, You'll be happy too.

Comments about Sony Sony Alpha A390 14.2 Megapixel DSLR Camera with 18-55mm Lens with Tiltable 2.7 inch Clear Photo LCD Plus Display, High Sensitivity ISO 3200:

My wife and I are semi-novice photographers. I did a lot of research and the other brands with a comparable feature set were significantly more expensive. Even the other brands' entry level models with far fewer features were pricier. This camera has and can do all that we need. It will be a long time before we get to a point where we'll need to upgrade.
