Helpful consumer’s review
A family member owns a Sony A200 and totally loved it so decided to go with A300 because of the live view addition. Being a total novice (my first dslr) it is very easy to use and the most important thing for me was getting fantastic pictures with hardly any effort at all.
It feels great, it’s quick and I love it plus I get some great pics of the kids too. And when you register the camera on Sony website you get very simply explained online tutorials which I found very useful.
