  • Though not an inexpensive option for the first timer, the A380 looks better value when its high resolution is considered, plus the fact that when buying the kit lens it’s still £80 cheaper than a D5000 body....

  • The Sony Alpha A380 delivers evenly exposed images with natural colours when left on its default settings. There are further pre-optimised Creative Style settings for those who prefer the more vivid look. We weren't convinced, however, that the suppli...

  • Lightweight and compact for an APS-C sized sensor DSLR, intuitive to use, fast and responsive, reliable performance
  • Distinctly plastic construction, tilting screen stiff and awkward, image noise visible at higher ISO sensitivity settings

  • User friendly. Compact size. High speed autofocus in live view mode. Improved kit lens
  • Not much of a development from the A350 it replaces. Fewer physical controls than most rivals. No video. Tiny grip
  • Not a particularly exciting camera for existing Sony Alpha users, but DSLR newcomers will appreciate the interface and photo quality ...
