Live view functions on your Sony camera

10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Fairly uncomplicated, easy to use, good quality images, nice features for beginners
Cons the LCD is awkward as it only comes out vertically, noise in some pictures
Recommended it? Yes

One item that sets this 10.2-megapixel Sony Alpha DSLR-A300K is its live-view functions.  One nifty feature is that it provides flexible live-view LCD works in real time.

But when Sony announced the sub-$2000 full-frame a850, I had to bite, especially at a price differential of $21,000. After all, I've... Read full review »
