For first-time DSLR users, Sony¿s ¿ (alpha) DSLR-A300 combines superb 10.2 MP quality with Live Preview mode that links you and your subject in a large 2.7¿ LCD screen for point-and-shoot simplicity. Super-quick AF response helps capture the perfect moment — and low-light shooting benefits from high sensitivity (ISO 3200), low noise and in-camera Super SteadyShot image stabilization that reduces blur with every Sony, Carl Zeiss and legacy Minolta a-mount lens.
