Comments about Sony Sony Alpha DSLRL-A580 Digital SLR Camera Body, 16.2 Megapixel, 3.0 inch LCD with 921,600 Pixels, Full HD 1080/60i Movies:

Image quality a very impressive improvement from my A200. All these new features are a real plus and allow a great deal of flexibility. Yes, I would like a less noisy shutter and better build, as I traipse the the woods a lot going to waterfalls, but those niceties would def increase the price. Excellent camera for the $$.

Wow!! I bought this camera to try out the sweep panoramic mode and found that not only is that feature very cool and accurate, but there are tons of other options that are offered as standard options. I just love this camera. The ease of use, the many features, the build quality, I could just go on and on about it! YES I would recommend this camera to anyone!

Just love it!

Comments about Sony Sony Alpha DSLRL-A580 Digital SLR Camera Body, 16.2 Megapixel, 3.0 inch LCD with 921,600 Pixels, Full HD 1080/60i Movies:

I would give this camera 5 stars but for a few flaws. First it could have been more solidly built. Olympus proves you can build solid cameras for the price range. What's with that dedicated hot shoe? I have to pay an additional $100 to attach my flash units. Shutter is kind of noisy. This probably has to due with the build quality. That being said this is an excellent photographic tool with some excellent optics available. I use the Zeiss vario sonnar one of the best zooms I've used and I've used quite a few! Raw is excellent (that's all I work in) but jpg seems usable. Panorama works well once you get use to it's quirks. I'm not heavy into video but I do have a Nikon and this blows Nikon videos out of the water. Not as versatile as my Panasonic pro video camera but fantastic for the quality you get from a camera that is "there when you need it". [...] I have a test video on youtube under "sony alpha 580 test" shot quick and on the fly. Here's a quick grab shot I did with it.
