  • Capable of shooting some very nice photos , Fast Live View AF and single-shot performance , Tiltable LCD , Dual-card slots , Relatively simple, straightforward operation , Built-in wireless flash and image stabilisation
  • Smallish grip , Middling viewfinder , Colour shifts with default settings
  • While the Sony Alpha DSLR-A380 is a solid and inexpensive dSLR with a few nice features that will probably satisfy many shooters, it doesn't deliver quite enough on any front to outshine competitors....

  • Awkward grip design, Resolution and noise control aren’t the best, Manual switch for choosing SD card or Memory Stick.
  • The Alpha 380 has a lot to offer DSLR newcomers, particularly those who are already used to shooting in live view, or who have inherited Grandpa’s Minolta lenses and want to keep using them. But anyone choosing among this Sony and the comparable Can...
