First of all, I am not a professional photographer, so this camera is not meant to be used professionally. Having said that it is a very nice camera. It has settings for night shots, extremely close up shots, videos and more. It has an "auto" setting where it automatically adjusts the zoom, and everything else, including flashing multiple times to eliminate red eye. I doubt I will ever use all of the capabilities of this camera, but I am positive that it will do any kind of picture I need to do. I have taken some excellent shots with it and I have only had it a few days, and I haven't even started to explore the myriad of possible settings. WHAT A GREAT CAMERA!
Great camera. Dont be fooled by so called 'Entry Level' tag given to this camera by others. I personally believe its the person who take great pictures not the camera. But if you want to take anything then this camera wont let you down. You can take pro level pics very easily with this camera. Best feature - super steady shot (SSS). I am using lot of old M42 lenses which are about 30-40 years old with this camera and SSS feature helps me to have steady shot even with these old lenses. This old version is much better than the newer sony a230 because it has much better grip and believe me it makes a BIG difference. Your fingers will hurt a lot after 3-4 hrs of shooting if you dont have good grip. I will highly recommend this camera if you are on budget. But if you have some money to spare then go for sony a700 which has better features (DOF preview button, mirror lock up, better noise reduction, better AF speed). But it is almost twice the price. Buy a200 not a230. This will actually save you some money !!Read full review
I like very much everything about the camera. I've been taking wildlife pictures for a long time and this will imporove both the quality of my pics and my ability to zoom in close. Another positive point is that I have and still ocassionally use a Minolta Film camera and I just learned that my lenses and flash are compatable with this Sony. That's why I opted to "buy in now" for the sellers asking price. The price which was a substational saving over what Amazon was asking at the time. I'd recommend both this product and this seller very highly.
This is my upgrade from an older SLR film camera. I am very pleased. Easy to use and great quality pictures. I am very satisfied. Still lots to learn.
This camera is total sweetness. I am very impressed with the processing speed that is takes photos PLUS the photo quality, and there are more feature than imaginable! Thanks
