  • Abstract:  The Sony Alpha 380 follows directly from last year’s Alpha 350, and accompanies the new Alpha 280 and 330 (which will see limited distribution) as the flagship entry-level Sony DSLR. The headline features of the A380 are the same as the A350 - a fold-o...

  • Quick and simple live-view mode; quieter and smoother autofocus than its predecessor, the DSLR-A350; decent kit lens
  • Small and gloomy viewfinder; cheap-feeling finish; very similar to its predecessor; expensive
  • The Sony Alpha DSLR-A380's pictures and specs are decent, but, apart from its better kit lens, it doesn't improve significantly on the DSLR-A350. It also costs more and feels cheaper. Maybe Sony thinks there's plenty of mileage left in the old tech ye...

  • Abstract:  The Sony Alpha 380 is a bit of a refresh for the Alpha 350 that was beginning to show its age. The most notable change from the older model is the styling of the Sony Alpha 380, with its two-tone finish and slightly unusual handgrip design. The grip is...

  • Abstract:  Lanzar la Sony DSLR-A380 como sucesora de la Alpha 350 es sin duda un paso lógico. Aunque los fanáticos de las especificaciones puedan verse algo decepcionados al leer las especificaciones técnicas, no es justo en lo que respecta en la Sony A380. Cons...

  • Die Alpha 380 ist eine gut ausgestattete Kamera mit Schwenkmonitor und schnellem Live-View-AF. Auch der ins Kameragehäuse eingebaute Bildstabilisator ist ein gutes Argument im Vergleich zu anderen SLR-Kameras der Kompaktklasse, beispielsweise von Cano...

  • Die Alpha 380 macht keinen schlechten Eindruck; mit ihrer Ausstattung, Erscheinung und Bedienung spricht sie aber eindeutig eher sowohl ein weniger ambitioniertes als auch ein weibliches Publikum an. Wer eine Kamera mit klassischen Funktionen möchte, ...
