For the price, probably the best semi-pro camera on the market. Beats the D60 hands down as well as gives xti’s a run for their money literally. Flip out screen combined with live view make impossible shots possible. Touch start auto focusing, forget about it, makes shots on the fly seem like you have all the time in the world. Stock lens being 18-70mm gives you the best bang for your buck. AF and Stabilization being in the body…etc. I could go on for hours

10/10

I bought an A300 in Dec 08 for $599.99 at Best Buy which included a 75-300mm lens and have only take 1 out of focus picture with it out of over 500 pics. This is a darn good camera, really easy to use (especially for the beginner). Haven’t even started using all the features yet but I am sure I will not be disappointed.

The only thing that bothered me is the shoe for the flash does not match my flash. I can buy an adapter for it but don’t know how it will perform.

Here are some samples of a Sunday shoot I did.

If you pay attention to reviews and comments the sony alpha A300 is better then both the Cannon XSI and the Nikon D60 i think sony is a very good choice for an entry level DSLR.

Sony Alpha 200 and 300 (I own one of each) – great, great cameras. I love ‘em. Easy, quick custom white balance, wireless flash (eat your heart out Cannon). Just a good functional camera.

The Sony A300 seems to be the best overall Sony alpha model for the masses to me. The sony a300 reviews seem to echo this?

It’s like the A200 plus a little bit more, without going to the A700 and A350.

I wonder if they made the A350 just so people can spend money. It’s amazing the raw images coming from the a200 and a300, there are .arws here:

Obviously Nikon is using sony chips in their dslrs for good reason. Don’t tell the photo journalists that!

take care

[...] There are even “leaked” photos of the supposed middle of the road cameras. You can see one set of leaked A300 photos at Photogrqphy Bay. Slash Gear offers the same tilt out, LCD Live View Alpha A300 [...]

It takes more than two years to earn respect and even longer to build a reputation. That KM heritage is lost on newbys, so hope you’re not planning on that keeping you warm.

I like what Sony is doing; aggressive marketing and all. That’s where there fat bank comes into play. When I see the photojournalists at major sporting events pack Sony gear I’ll entertain your rah rah “more power” blast. Until then Sean and Don “Sony Fanboy #1″ can take a back seat and watch how the true players continue to release features that actually work.

Sweet enough looking live view machine….with the A100, A200, A700, A300, A900 all to be on the scene soon, Canikon will start to feel the pressure.

See A100 and A700 images, and intensive high ISO testing of the Sony A700 here:
