I love this camera. I tested other cameras in the same price range, but preferred this one.

The portrait setting is great. I am used to shooting a 35mm SLR, so it doesn’t bother me that the LCD screen doesn’t display what you’re shooting. The only con for me is that you usually need still subjects, pictures will come out blurry when your subject is moving too fast, unless they are well lit. However, it helps that you can adjust the shutter and aperture manually.

I’ve had the camera for a few days now. Its been wonderful. Many people online seem to complain about Sony’s default settings for the camera. They say the color is “off” a little. I’ve taken of 400 pictures in a few days and haven’t any problems with the colors of the photos. I recommend buying an external flash. Its been a big help.Sony HVLF20AM TTL Digital Flash for Sony Alpha Digital SLR Cameras

This is my first dslr camera. I had the camera for about 2-3 weeks now for my photography class at my university. I have always trusted Sony’s brand and was basically raised on it.

It’s not a bad camera for beginners like me who are just taking a photography class out of a requirement or if you want to pick it up as a hobby with out spending an arm, leg, and other body parts. It has good crisp, clear images. I even managed to get a picture of one of my small flower buds as it was beginning to open up. It has a huge wide range of colors, easy to use, light weight which is nice because I have a long commute on public transit, basically everything you’re looking for in a camera.

CONS: I have bad eye sight. Lazy eye plus astigmatism in one of my eyes and astigmatism in the other. I own a Sony Cyber Shot which comes with the “live view” of being able to actually see what you are taking in the lcd screen. This camera does not have this feature. You have to look through the eye piece in order to see what you are about to take. And if you have bad eye sight like me, that is a pain in the butt, especially if you have no tripod on you and are trying to take a picture of something with the larger lenses, which yes this camera is lighter then most cameras but it gets pretty heavy with the larger lenses. I can’t stand the fact that it doesn’t have a LCD screen which you can see out of. Why do I have to pay $200 – $300 for basically the same camera just to be able to see through the LCD screen?

Honestly, I’m beginning to wish I got the Nikon D060 instead. The bundle is nice but not really worth it.

It blurs even slow moving objects in sports mode. My child was just walking by and his face is blurred…big time….I bought the camera because it focused so quickly..DON’T BUY IT unless all of your subjects will be sitting still.
