Sony A-350 Vs A-380

[Mattman.Jr]

So I'm looking into buying the Sony A-350 or the Sony A-380, and I wanted to hear peoples general opinion of these cameras and why they dislike it or like it.

Here is a comparison of the A390 to one of Nikon's lowest entry level bodies.... you might find it interesting.. (the 350 and 380 are less capable than the 390!)

I have a 350 and it's ok. Would be fine to learn with. The main things about it are the small viewfinder, small body size, 1/160 sync speed, and lack of a second control wheel. Keep in mind those limitations exist in any of the entry level cameras. Neither of these cameras have video so I guess that's not a factor for you. Rather than these two, perhaps look at a used a700 it is an outstanding semi-pro camera and can be found for under $500.
