Yes please!

Actually, if the A500 photo is correct, it looks to have much better ergonomics than the a330/a380.

I hope the specs are accurate, it would be a great upgrade from my A300... definitely a purchase for me. I just hope the pricing isn't outrageous. I could see spending $800 or $900 for the body alone, but not much more than that.

As an avid Sony DSLR shooter, I was sad to see this latest batch released with little to no improvements over the predecessors. If anything, the A380 is a step backwards from the A350 with worse ergonomics and cheaper plastics.

Hopefully the rumored A500 and A550 will be the next step forward for the APS-C sensor Sony DSLR's I've been waiting for.

I use a ton of apps from the last MacHeist bundle still... it was a great deal. Not so sure about this bundle though. I'll probably pass.

Yes please!

I would like one of these, por favor!

I have experienced this as well on my 3Gs. Beejive was showing the AOL IM app icon (which isn't even installed on my device) and Strategery was showing the icon of Scribble Lite. I deleted the apps and reinstalled and that seemed to fix the issue. Hasn't been an issue again for me, thankfully.

bow-chick-a wow wow

Sony may have in-camera IS, but the low-light sensitivity is still pretty low. Nikon may not have in-camera IS, but the sensitivity is so good it doesn't matter... crank up the ISO and raise your shutter speed and you'll get better shots with less noise without the IS.

The D90 sensor completely crushes the sensors of the A300 and A350 which are the same sensors being used in these new cameras. http://is.gd/AfUe

The price of the D90 (body only) is cheaper than the SRP of the A380 listed here as well. So, while price alone shouldn't determine the camera purchase... if you can get a better image for less money, why wouldn't you?

I was really hoping that these cameras would be used to flesh out Sony's low-end amateur line. Maybe priced at $399, $499 and $599. Three models for entry-level DSLR users to start off with. But at this pricing, they are competing with much higher-end models like the D90 and 50D and are more expensive than the T1i and D5000. It just doesn't make sense, especially when these cameras bring nothing new to the table compared to the current A200/300/350 lineup. Does HDMI out and a new GUI really validate a bump in price of two or three hundred dollars?

So... the A300 with a kit lens is currently selling for $599 on Amazon (and I am pretty sure $599 is the MSRP), but the A330's suggested retail is $805 without a lens? And the only differences are that the 330 has an HDMI port, a new GUI on the display and uses memory stick instead of compact flash....

...what!?


I really really hope there is some mistake or there is an unknown feature that has yet to be revealed because the pricing for these cameras makes no sense at all.

I shoot a LOT of photos with my A300 (http://www.flickr.com/photos/zero101/) but this really makes me worried about the future of the Sony DSLR line. Maybe it is time to look at the Nikons....
