Sony A380 Review
Heading up the new range of Alpha DSLRs from Sony is the Alpha 380, the perfect model for any photographer new to DSLRs. Along with the Sony A380, the have also released the A320, a smaller and more affordable addition. Lightweight and stylish, both have been built for comfort and ease of use, and are equipped with handy hi-tech features to help make the step up from compact cameras as simple as possible for budding amateurs. With 2 competitive price points, you will be hard pressed to find an equal. They are the perfect step-up to DSLRs because it’s very instructional and provide built-in explanations of what aperture and shutter speed actually do.
The Sony A380 built-in SteadyShot INSIDE Image Stabiliser will also help amateurs to obtain pin-sharp shots when shooting handheld in low light. It is a fantastic function that contributes to the great on-the-go practicality of the camera. While sharp images are also easily obtained at lower shutter speeds without using a tripod.
Sony A380 large 14.2 megapixel sensor will produce big 4,592×3,056 raw and fine jpeg images which is big enough for quality A3 photos. The great thing about having 14-megapixel DSLR is that it gives options to crop images creatively while still leaving you with images that retain enough quality for large prints. Bigger images are great for revealing loads of detail in wide-angle shots and also give a very crisp reproduction on macro shots.
Images are well-exposed, rich and vibrant straight out of the camera, while there is the D-range Optimiser function if you are shooting in mixed lighting conditions and need to preserve detail in the highlights and shadows. The improved Quick autofocus Live View is a breeze to use via the new 2.7 inch LCD display that tilts up and down to make it easy to take photos whatever your angle of view might be.
However, if your budget does not extend to the Sony A380, it is also worth considering the lighter, but still equally impressive 10.2 megapixel Sony A320 DSLR which comes with Sony DT 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 SAM kit lens offering fantastic value for the money. All DSLRs connect to any HD ready TV for a high-quality big screen view of your photos and PhotoTV HD support unsures even better looking still image reproduction on compatible models.
