Sony Alpha (a300): The Camera Behind D2 Fotografi

Jun 14, 2008 Author: The Domestic Diva | Disclosure | Filed under: Product Reviews, Sony Mommy Blogger Event

This has been a much anticipated review, I’m sure. The Sony Alpha DSLRA300K 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera with Super SteadyShot Image Stabilization with DT 18-70mm f/3.5-5.6 Zoom Lens is the camera that I received while attending the Sony Mommy Blogger Event. I have never used a DSLR before so I can firmly say that learning to use the Sony Alpha over the past few months has been nothing but effortless. The camera just takes absolutely amazing pictures! Along side the Sony Cybershot, I have all the cameras I need at this very moment. I haven’t even bought any new lenses for the Sony Alpha yet, so all of the photos that you see are taken with the original lense that the camera came with.

The Sony Alpha DSLR is one of the first camera’s with a tilting live view finder that I love using to take low angle shots or to take photos way up high. The Sony Alpha is great for taking professional looking photos of the kidlets or artistic photos of still life. If you have been thinking of upgrading from a point & shoot camera to a DSLR, I would HIGHLY recommend the Sony Alpha not just because I attended the Mommy Blogger Event but because this camera continues to blow me away each and every time I use it.

Below are a few examples of the photographs that I have taken using my Sony Alpha…

These are just a few examples of what the Sony Alpha can do with the default lense, you can view more photos on my flickr page.

One mom blogger who attended the event, put it this way concerning her former love for her Canon DSLR…

“Its like I went away for the weekend and I had an affair. I don’t know how to tell my old camera how I feel about my new love.”

Many women who were more experienced with DSLR camera’s couldn’t stop raving about how well the Sony Alpha performed and how they will never go back to their old DSLR’s. In internet speak….

Sony Alpha FTW!

Do you use a DSLR? If so what kind and why?
Are you thinking about purchasing a DSLR in the future? What options are you considering?

I’ve heard alot of buzz about this camera…I would love to try one out though before a big purchase. The photos look great!

I currently use a Nikon D70s. I love it but it’s the only brand I’ve been around too;)

I’ve wanted a Nikon D40/60/80 or a Canon Rebel… I like this except for the viewfinder flipping up/out… I think I’d break it?

I own a Canon Rebel SLR camera and love it.

I have a Tamron SP AF17-50mm F/2.8 Di II LD Aspherical (IF) Lens and cant imagine using any other lens. I am in love with it. Grant it the lens cost as much as the actual body.. but its well worth it. I had a 50mm 1.8 Canon lens and enjoyed that one.. but it had no range. Also easily broken since its a cheaper lens. But the quality was very beautiful.

The Tamron has great range and the crisp look of the photos is awesome. They may even make it to fit the sony.. it recommend it highly.

I think the nice thing w/ the canons is that you can use the same tamron lens i have w/ a newer canon.. like the 40D.

Glad to see theres other options out there tho . gives people a variety.
