It sort of got lost in yesterday’s political madness, but Sony just announced their new Alpha 390 DSLR for Australia. 14.2MP, live view mode on a tiltable 2.7-inch LCD screen, in-body image stabilisation and an APS-C CCD sensor, the Alpha 390 seems like a bargain for $799 in a single lens kit.
Two entry-level DSLRs from Sony today, both with an eye on your budget. The A390 and A290 both have 14.2MP sensors, with the only major difference being the Quick AF Live View on the former model.
