Brought earlier this year (2021) to help blossom a hobby in photography without spending a fortune. This is a wonderful first camera to allow you access to understand the principles of taking pictures and functions of a good camera.

Purchased second hand from a family friend and absolutely no regrets, perfect little camera. Not too heavy and really great shots.

I bought this several years ago and it is still my favorite to take with me. Shoots good photos and not to big to carry around.

I bought this camera after I was diagnosed with Leukemia, its my first DSLR camera, I have found it very easy to use but on the down side, its a wee bit heavy especially when youve got a big lens on.

I bought this from ebay as a second hand starter camera as I am new to dslr photography. Sony never fails to impress. I am probably biased as most of my tech comes from Sony but that is probably proof in itself that I trust and rely on Sony products.

I've used this camera for a couple of years and it is wonderful. Light weight and I can use all my older Minolta Maxxum lenses. The camera is easy to use, and the advanced functions can be learned with some trial and error. I'm 65+ and I have taken wonderful pictures with this camera.

Had this camera a couple of years now but recently the focus has been poor. Photos have been fuzzy despite using fast shutter speeds as appropriate. Such a shame. Now contemplating buying a competitors product instead

Only had this camera a few weeks but love it, loads of features built in to be found, easy menu navigation. I was unsure about going onto a dslr but it is proving fun, learning how to get the results you want or just taking in auto for fast pictures. The detail the camera picks up is fantastic! Taken around 400 pictures and only deleted 4 so if I can anyone can! Enjoy!

I have had this camera for several months and used it on the auto modes to start with. I have now progressed to fully manual. It is easy to use and comes with on-camera help. The downloadable manual is very helpful and informative, l keep mine on my mobile phone so I have it with me. The camera is robust and well made, it also feels quite light. The controls are in easy to reach positions and it is comfortable to hold, even for long periods of time. As I wear glasses and the eye-piece viewer does not adjust enough to allow me to use the camera without them, the live-view screen is very good and clear with all the information displayed. The software that comes with the camera is also very good.

I have been using this camera for over 4 months now and thought its fair time to write about it now. The build quality is good and it comes with a standard 18-55 lens which is good for a beginner like me. I found the quality of images to be good and overall functionality of the camera is easy to understand.

I just bought it two weeks ago as a replacement of my a300 and secondhand a550. I had quite plenty of lenses so o decided to buy a new a58. A good compact dslr compared old a550. Nice pictures. Fast a d the colour is vibrant. A good thing about this a58 that sony able to make the snap mechanism less noisy and the colour in high iso pics also less 'noise' I love the auto hdr setting. Quite a lot of toggle to play a bit ackward as different compared to a300 and a550 but easy to catch up and learn.

I bought my camera last month only, so didn't got much to explore with it but still what I did was quite pleasing and mind blowing. I love that it captures every single photo in few nanoseconds. Thank you Sony for providing such a lovely product to capture all the good memories without missing a single of them.
