This 10 megapixel DSLR is a sub-$1000 camera in basic kit form. Construction is acceptable with plain plastic much in evidence. It comes with the Sony 18-70mm kit lens and can also be bought in a two lens kit with a 55-200mm tele zoom. The lenses are...

JPEG images straight from the camera are soft. We suspect that this is not a camera fault but a lens issue. We would strongly recommend buying the body plus one of the excellent Zeiss lenses that Sony offer as an option – expensive but good.

Built-in anti-shake - works with any lens, No-fuss Live View with quick AF, Tilting monitor, InfoLithium battery gives accurate feedback.
Relatively small optical viewfinder, Noise levels not much better than A350, Live View not 100% accurate, Anti-dust system not 100% effective in our tests.
The Sony Alpha A300 is a feature-packed DSLR with a compelling price tag. With built-in stabilisation, Live View and a flip-out screen, it ticks the boxes of most new DSLR buyers. Sony’s fuss-free Live View is also arguably the best implementation y...
