Sony Alpha a68 Digital SLR Camera Body - Bundle with Holster Case, 16GB SDHC Card, Cleaning Kit, Software Package

I have this camera a few years now and it continually delivers with exceptional picture quality. It is very easy to use and the range of lens is phenomenal. The different functions are all carried over from the original SONY DSLR cameras so you do not need to relearn anything. Brilliant, exceptional and hard working camera.

When I started using Sony products, it was the Sony Xperia smartphone. I immediately fell in love with Sony phones and devices! From then, I started using all Sony products. When I got the Alpha camera, it was as I was reborn. The quality is superb! Photos are really sharp with warm colors. Focus works really fast on auto, but the manual is really pro. I would recommend this camera to professionals that are working with pictures and videos on a higher level.

The handling, build quality and ergonomics of this camera are really nice. The quality and build of A-mount lenses is generally very good to excellent; and now relatively cheap. I have recently upgraded to an A6500 because of the modern focussing capabilities and lightness but if you only want to take stationary objects this is a great option.

Bought to replace a 58 which I give to my daughter as her 200 had just broken after much use. That came from me years ago. She has a business and uses a camera a lot. I am delighted with camera, so far, and as controls are pretty close to 58 easy to get on with. I also have a 500 as I want to keep a traditional slr as well.

I am very pleased with my new a68, it has opened up a whole new range of subjects for me, I am predominately a nature photographer, but this camera is letting me explore many more types of photography. It is perfectly happy to take nighttime wildlife shots and the next morning do macro on insects, the micro adjust feature lets me set my lenses up so I always get good sharp photos. I am still learning the capabilites it has, I can now confidently take low light portraits which I struggled with before, and the resolution with 24 meg is superb. This is a really great camera.

I bought this camera after my A58 was starting to show its age. However the noise you get even ISO 100 is awful. And sadly the company I bought it off just say I need to speak to Sony. The first Sony I’ve ever had a bad word about. Gutted as I’ve sadly wasted nearly £500

After owning A200W and many other sony products, the decision was swift to buy A68. Having many A mount lenses makes life so much easier.

I bought this camera to replace my Sony a580 so that I could continue to use my a mount lenses and this seemed the best option. The camera is very light and feels flimsy, but that is just me I expect. The view finder and display are not very good and hard to see in bright daylight. The shutter button is very sensitive and makes focusing difficult. It is very difficult to attach the camera strap and in the end I gave up and bought a different one. The few pictures I have taken are good in RAW. I have not used jpg settings. What really holds this camera to just three stars is the lack of a socket for a remote shutter release which means the timer has to be used instead which is not very satifactory.

My Sony DSLR was about twelve years old so I was thinking about replacing it. I was looking for a similar camera as I have several lenses. I enquired in a well known camera shop about what they recommended and was told that the A mount models were being discontinued but I could still get the A68. It is perfect. Very similar to my old one but a more modern spec and actually easier to use. Perfect.

I've had this for 10 days now and am pleased with the results so far. Have not experimented much with in depth features but was up and running withe basics very quickly. The results and details are excellent. Primarily bought to make use old Minolta AF9000 lenses and the worked perfectly. Obviously crop factor changes lenses capabilities but this is not a big issue for me. The camera hold easily in the hand and appears well built. Early days but so far so good.

Bought this to replace a300, much lighter body and some extra features which seem pretty good, not had a chance ce to use properly yet but did a few s apps with it, seems to be up to So yes usual high standards, would recommend if you want a good middle of the road camera. I bought body only as I have my own lens that I use.

I'm very pleased with the quality and resolution of my photos, as I am upgrading from an Alpha 57. I like the additional ways to save various camera settiings on the 3 additional points on the top settings dial, and programming the other buttons as well. The only thing I clearly don't like about the a68 is the fact that they removed the use of the wireless Remote Commander, that I use all the time on my A57. And I also miss the Level option in the LCD & the Viewwfinder, also available on the A57. I may have to purchase a 3rd party wired/wireless combo remote, a real inconvenience.

The a68 is a great camera. It was purchased to replace my a65. It is easy to use and to follow the guide. I do miss the GPS of the a65 and being able to choose the scene selection instead of the camera setting itself.

I love this camera, well worth the investment. I had one problem with my order. I ordered the Premium Kit with the camera. This includes a Flashpoint 144 LED. No mention that it does not include a battery or charger for this item in the advertisement for this Kit. I have talked to them twice so far. The first time they were nice to send me a battery, (no charger though with the first call). I talked with them a second time and they sent me a charger, unfortunately there wasn't a Charger Plate to charge the battery so I am going to have to call them a third time to get this resolved. DON"T OFFER A KIT THAT DOES NOT COME WITH ALL THE ACCESSORIES TO MAKE THEM WORK!!!

I purchased this camera as I already had A mount lenses. I am very pleased with the ease of use and the level of the quality of my shots so far the camera is a quality above its price tag

Bought my camera to replace my Minolta Dynax. Getting along really well. If I have an issue it is that the manual is not easy. I bought a book which is much easier.

I have only had it for a week so am still learning. I upgraded from a sony A350. The A68 photos are a much better quality. All my old lenses can be used as can my old batteries. has better features than the A350. Manual is not good.

In my previous review I rated the picture quality as 'Good'. Having spent more time with the camera I would now rate picture quality as excellent.

I recently bought the A68 to replace our Sony A57 because of the improved sensor (24Mp vs 16 Mp) and auto-focus. While it is an improvement over the A57 in sensor and AF plus a few other things such as AF micro-adjustment, it feels like it is built more cheaply for example having only a plastic lens mount. It also lacks an IR Remote sensor, has a smaller less functional monitor and smaller viewfinder. I also own the excellent A77ii and feel that it is worth the extra few hundred dollars compared to the A68.

Still learning how to use this full-featured camera. So far, have taken excellent photographs with little effort to fully control camera settings. Suggest buying David Busch's Sony Alpha 68 book for excellent description of features and how to use them.
