Pros: Excellent overall quality for the price, good battery life, good photos up to ISO 1600 (B also 3200), ease of use and the menu navigation.

Cons: Autofocus not always effective if the light is the least poor, the screen unusable in bright light.

Opinion: I come from a compact Canon, and find me holding this Sony A58 I opened endless possibilities; the modes A, M, and S are easy to set up and make it really fun to use the machine; auto mode is a good starting point for beginners like me to try to play and then change the automatic settings, but it is also very valid for the pictures taken during such holidays, or out with friends where there you have the time or inclination to set each shooting. The picture quality is excellent up to ISO 1600 and RAW also to 3200, after which they begin to be too noisy. The objective provided in kits, 18-55 DT SAM II is not bad, certainly for a car that costs 349 euros with included lens will not be super sharp and bright, but that's fine as long as you do not have clear ideas to choose perspective suitable for your purpose. The auto focus is perfect with optimal light conditions, but if this is scarce a little 'non always possible to set it on the first try. different types of screen display and viewfinder, from simple image preview to the list of complete information is available in the regulated parameters (convenient in cases where you need a "summary" before a shot). The automatic white balance does a good job in most situations, and also when you need to set it manually, colors are reproduced in a kind and faithful. The Help button displays a brief explanation of the already clear menu functions and configurable options; it is light to carry shoulder and the battery has a life of about 600-800 shots depending on the use made of it, but I managed to even get to 1600 by one Startrail; the tilting screen with live-view is nice, but unfortunately almost unusable in bright light, where you have to rely on the electronic viewfinder, which nonetheless real preview of what you will click. The low resolution of the screen does not allow to see some detailed kingi that will only be visible on the PC screen. There are enough buttons that make it more direct access to various settings without necessarily having to go through the system menu. The menu that many consider complicated to me sounds great, has many voices all divided logically, and he understands the function flight. I find it a versatile machine suitable as first SLR.

Pros: Light and handy, long battery life, good electronic viewfinder, Good yield up to 3200, value / price highly competitive, fast autofocus, preview PDC

Cons: It does not say Canon / Nikon on body

Opinion: I went from a Sony a380 this to58, the leap is heard. Not only for Mpixel more than for me could be less, but to a whole other series of aspettirncome listed in PRO is lighter and more manageable, perhaps less practical for beginning a series of buttons more than the my ex but you soon get used to. The Preview of the PDC (closes the aperture to give a preview in live view of its depth of field in that opening) is a bit 'small and I would have preferred slightly higher, but are finezze.rnLa battery lasts so much the first time I after taking 1000 photos in RAW I still had 66% battery ... doing the math should reach 3000, I do not think you get it but 2500 surpasses them with disinvolturarnil electronic viewfinder is very defined, more screen real but so is used much more than the first ... at least in my casornil first sound you hear in ISO1600, Correggibilissimo also taking direct jpeg using noise reduction. In 3200 ovviemente there more noise but is correggibilissimo shooting in RAW (I have not tried in jpeg sincerely, but the results are definitely better with the RAW JPEG camera) rnCome anticipated just above the key is the preview of the PDC, It does not seem to have the competitors in this price range, which is in my opinion the cherry on top of this Sony.rnSe was a Canon / Nikon would be the most sold in shopping malls, and in any case when someone asks "What starts with ? D3200 or 1200d? " I do not understand why not also assess this entry level Sony, snobbatissima than the other two that will always be good at those prices, but compared to58 to make a fool of.

Pros: Given the price and the band dynamic range = very good, very good color range, detail vote 8.5 out of 10, very easy to handle with a good gripping, from an idea of ??toy and enjoy doing shots, screen viewfinder high detail shots fast 5 fps , AF system rating 8 out of 10, many optical minolta compatible with excellent results, with good detail and screen size, sealing iso truly exceptional, raw files utilizzabilissimi up to ISO 3200 at least remaining in the thought of amateur evolved / moved, very good video with high resolution and detail, internal stabilizer discreet, up to 3 stops recovery (against 4 of the new generations and other brands). weight contenutornCome said remaining within a range of SLR precise and the same release date

Cons: AF sometimes non-performance and "snaps", 3-point cross (better than others for the same price), digital viewfinder (subjective), machine very plasticky, of course not Tropicalised

Opinion: Just in hand, you turn it ... fun! shoot, shoot and shoot again the machine, fun, fast in the right place to have fun. He felt the plasticosità right away, but the tightness in the hand is very good, does not slip and it "fits" well with dita.rnChi like me shooting with the viewfinder and only 1 in 10 000 with LV, but does not have problems to use LV very simple to set up and use, and in any case even the digital viewfinder is not a problem, in fact I have to say that in some situations it is a pleasure to operate, but it remains at a pentaprism viewfinder. rnPensata to use it right away, so simple then the internal software is built, even those who take a camera for the first time, after a few minutes the uses without difficulty, though, to make a "good" photos it takes a combination well precise rather than the use of only the macchina.rnLo screen are adjustable vertically, is really handy, in case you need to take pictures holding up the machine over the heads of people in a place or event and servesa photo. The weight is very low even if it remains in media.rnrnQuesta is my opinion remain in the range of identified Reflex, cataloged between the entry level (perhaps canon would put between the amateur, a step above)

Pros: Good image quality and pixel "pasty", remains with ISO between 100 and 1600 (over the noise becomes rather present), autofocus valid, electronic viewfinder, compatibility with older Minolta lenses with bayonet type A, the possibility of apply filters and effects to your images instantly JPG (convenient for those who are beginners and want to have fun with effects "creative") without using Photoshop (although the yield is very different, I admit), 15 points of focus , button "help" that runs to help if needed

Cons: appearance of noise in low light (I think also depends on the objective of the series), but not tilting screen only "rotating"

Opinion: I state that it is my first camera, and therefore are not ferratissimo subject. So I decided to start with a "basic" model but still had a rather high overall quality. The choice fell on this model mainly for two reasons: the first is that I could recycle old Minolta lenses of my father (nothing special but enough to have fun for a moment and take my hand without throwing a lot of money), the second reason is that, for the price range of belonging think there is very little comparable. the sensor 20.1 effective Megapixel performs well, the pixels are very pasty (at high magnification you do not have a sort of mosaic effect on the photo) and the colors are warm. I noticed the appearance of noise with low light environments (churches) or with night photos with long exposures but I think it must be considered that the lens of the series (a "plasticotto" DT 3.5-5.6 / 18-55 SAM II) not really professional even if, in its economy, I must say that also behaves well if there is lightsufficiency, demonstrating a certain speed in focus. The camera body is lightweight and is made of good quality plastic, anti-static and anti-slip. Another thing I'm happy is the electronic viewfinder; these Sony does not have a mirror and an optical viewfinder but it is a mini-LCD display with high definition (pixels are seen) that covers 100% of the field and which incorporates all of the commands that you see on the screen in live-view and all settings that are corrected on the fly while framing. The transition from live-view in the viewfinder is automatic thanks to a proximity sensor that switches power to either display depending on the proximity of the eye to the camera board mirino.rnrnIn substance in question to those who are beginners (creative effects, scene mode, button help) but want a product with a value for money winner (pixels "pasty", 15 AF points, electronic viewfinder)

Pros: Excellent yield at ISO 800 1600 good qualita'immagini excellent autofocus module

Cons: ISO car not settable on an adjustable limit depending on the needs, flash is not very powerful

Opinion: Coming from a Sony A350, the differences are significant, it is certainly more 'than what costa.Ottima dynamic range, I can see in the large display the image as it will be' taken thanks to technology Sony.Gli unique in that I recognized are those reported, insufficient flash and auto ISO setting is not manageable all'utente.Corpo very light that does not tire.
