Sony A380

Sony A380

The Sony A380 is a Digital SLR introduced in the summer of 2009. It is aimed at the photography enthusiast, but is also a clear step up on the entry level Sony Digital SLR cameras. The A380 has 14 megapixels. Other key features include built in image stabilisation, a tilting 2.7 inch LCD screen and a Live View mode.

The major advantage of buying a Digital SLR with image stabilisation built into the body is that it means you do not have pay out for this feature every time you buy a lens. The fact that it is always available to you helps to cut down on any blur caused by camera shake. Therefore it should lead to sharper photos.

A titling LCD screen helps you to take photographs from awkward angles when looking directly onto the back of the camera is difficult. Live view gives you another option for composing photos in addition to using the viewfinder.

The A380 is capable of shooting at a maximum speed of 2.5 frames per second. This falls to 2 frames per second when live view mode is active.

To help you get to know the A380 there is an on screen help guide. There are six pre programmed scene modes to help get you started as well.
