Alpha Digital
REALLY IMPORTANT! About sony alpha digital slrs?
How come everyone has a canon or a nikon? i know they’re the more popular brands and they have more lense but do the take better pictures. i’ve had my mind set on a sony alpha a300k for a long time now and i’m now having second thoughts. i really don’t want to buy it and have my pictures look like crap. helphelphelp please and thanks
Finally a buyer who doesn’t care what everyone else has. I have to commend you on that. I actually am coming from Canon to Sony. I have already bought an older 35mm Minolta Maxxum with a Minolta 50/1.7 lens. It is quite a nice camera. I am soon getting an a700.
Sony actually has quite a lot of lenses. If you look at B&H, you will see that there are 26 made by Sony, (avoid Phoenix), 33 by Sigma, 16 by Tamron and 2 by Tokina listed, but that is not all the lenses, just the ones they have available.
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/shop/9266/SLR_Interchangeable_Lenses_for_Sony_Minolta.html
To add to that, you can find great older Minolta lenses used on ebay, craigslist, amazon, etc. Good lenses, if cared for, can last indefinitely.
Now, to the alphas, the a300 is a great choice. It is basically the same as the a200, except that it has live view. If live view isn’t really important, then you might look into an a200 because they are about $100 cheaper and have exactly, and I do mean exactly, the same features with exception to the live view.
The a300 and a350 are very similar as well. Both have the tilt-out live view. But the a300 gets 3 frames per second, while the a350 only gets 2.5, although this is not a huge difference. The biggest difference between the a300 and a350 is the a350 is 14MP while the a300 is 10MP. Now, this is not really that much of an advantage unless you want to buy the lenses to take advantage of the 14MP.
So, if live view is important, then the a300 is a great camera. You can get it on B&H with the 18-70 lens for $599.
But if you don’t care about live view, then go for the a200 with the 18-70 (the exact same camera without live view) for $499.
Both great cameras. Send me a message if you like.
