Only in the last couple of years have amateur photographers had the ability to purchase DSLRs for a reasonable sum of money. With 14.2 megapixels, a 2.7 LCD display, quick auto focus, SteadyShot INSIDE™ image stabilization and an 18-55mm zoom lens, the A380 is great option for those new to shooting with a DSLR. Not only is this camera easy to use, but it also contains a pop out and adjustable LCD screen which is great for capturing images at awkward angles. Another plus is the fact that in January of 2006 Sony acquired Minolta, the Japanese company known for introducing the world to the first integrated autofocus 35mm in a SLR camera. Although the lens that comes with the A380 is not Minolta, Sony has had time to improve and implement some of Minolta’s features into this camera which only benefits the photographer. Since released about 6 months ago, the price of this camera has become much more affordable. For about $700 you get both the camera body and the 35mm lens. So, for those looking for an alternative to Canon and Nikon’s DSLRs, look no further. For well under a grand, you can get a straightforward, high-performance camera that really packs a punch.
