Sony Alpha A380 Camera Review

 Sony Alpha A380 Camera Review

The Sony Alpha 380 is the most highly specified of three simultaneous new releases from Sony, alongside the A280 and A300, and is designed to appeal to both first-time DSLR buyers and enthusiasts.

It directly replaces the Sony Alpha 350, which was released last June and shares many of the same major features as its predecessor.


These features include a 14 million-pixel CMOS sensor and a unique 'Quick AF Live View' mode, but all in a newly designed, lighter body. On paper, it's Sony's best entry-level DSLR so far, but does the A380 have what it takes to compete with new HD video-equipped competition from Canon, Nikon and Pentax?
