Avis sur le produitSony Alpha SLT-A58 20.4MP Digital SLR Camera - Black (Kit w/ DT SAM II 18-55mm Lens)

Excellent DSLR Camera

This camera has been amazing and has far exceeded my expectations. Although it is considered an "outdated" model, it definitely still holds up to current DSLR standards and stands it's ground with cameras I have previously owned. Previously, the Nikon D5300 was my go-to for almost every type of photoshoot, and I have to admit that this camera produces very good image quality, has good battery life, and is loaded with features that do not disappoint in the slightest. I definitely recommend this to anyone just starting out, or well into their photography careers and/or hobby. For the price, you won't find much else better.Lire l'avis complet...

Great entry level camera, minus the grainy EVF and LCD screen during live view(for both lcd and evf)

Great product, I bought it as a backup to my special Sony Alpha A57!
I took 1 star off because the EVF and live view was grainy, does not affect the quality captured images or videos. I was literally shocked when I noticed how much grainy both live view are! Both viewing methods have more grains than my A57. Additionally the micro hdmi seems faulty sometimes it wont recognize a connected monitor unless I apply some/minor tension on the micro hdmi port, pressure from the front of the camera to make the micro hdmi slight lean towards the back of the camera(towards the lcd screen).
The A58 feels faster, lighter, and has more pixels (16 v 20) than my A57. The A57 has a less grainy live view for both EVF and lcd screen, plus the lcd screen has more viewing angle/position versus the A58's up and down tilt limitation.Lire l'avis complet...

Great for beginner

Great for beginner. It has almost all of the pro functions. Also has easy to use helpers to make your pictures great. Lens is very versatile. The best thing is being an a-mount makes it so easy to find lenses to use from other brands especially the old Minolta ones. If you want to take great pictures as an amateur without breaking the bank, this is the DSLR for you.Lire l'avis complet...

Awesome product and a great value for the money!

I am only an amateur photographer (even that is a bit of an exageration). My main purpose is recording sights,events and work achievements. I seldom get into very technical or aesthetic issues requiring use of such an advanced camera. Incidentally, I am led to believe this is merely the more basic offering in Sony's current alpha line-up.

That being said, I love the various features and available options. I can use it as a simple but more capable point & shoot or open up the plethora of manual shooting options. I had a Minolta AF SLR,(film camera) purchased years ago and I am able to use those lenses on my Sony Alpha.
Other fine brands such as Nikon or Canon may equal or excel by comparison but this Sony allows me to use my Minolta lenses (saving me a bundle) making this camera a very economic alternative in addition to a fine quality machine. I understand Sony acquired the Minolta/Konica company along with its technological expertise and so this camera benefits from the experience of all three manufacturers.

This camera is fast and takes intensely clear and accurate pictures with its 20.1 megapixel CCD. I have found many high quality Minolta lenses still at reasonable prices (on Ebay) to provide additional options.

I have only just begun to explore its many excellent characteristics but already I know this is an excellent camera and I am well-pleased!Lire l'avis complet...

Great deal for me

As an amateur photographer, I was looking for a camera that would accept the old Minolta A-mount lenses, and I found it. This camera works with the 5 other lenses that I have from Minolta. I just couldn't see wasting them or selling them off at a cheap price. At a recent dance review for my granddaughters, I started with the 17-55mm lens that came with it. Only to find out that where we were sitting was a bit too far away. While clarity was great, and pics were perfect, the distance was not good. I switched to my 70-200mm lens, and that was what it needed to take great pics at the distance we were. Still able to pan back and get the whole group, but also able to get the close ups of my granddaughters. Well please with the performance of the camera. Action shots are great. Worth the price.Lire l'avis complet...

Well worth it for me!

This camera is the third Sony I now own and the 6th one I have owned over the years. I couldn't be happier with the Sony system and I am absolutely a fan of the mirror-less format. These are great cameras and easy to use for anyone that has even a rudimentary understanding of photography. Well worth the investment as far as I am concerned.Lire l'avis complet...

Great Image Quality Even w/Digital Zoom

There was a bit of a steep learning curve for me as I was transitioning from a prosumer point and shoot to a DSLR. Perhaps the biggest surprise was how well the 4X digital zoom works and the quality of the resulting image. Any other camera I've own the only thing that the digital zoom was good for was getting a close enough look at a subject for identification but I had always found the resulting images to be worthless. Not so with the Sony SLT-a58 the image quality at full zoom range is every bit as sharp as you could want so coupled with the 75-300mm lens its the equivalent of having a 1200mm telephoto lens. Of course having the image stabilization built into the body of the camera is a huge cost saving factor compared to the expense of lenses for other cameras where the vibration reduction is incorporated in the lens thus driving costs higher.

The video quality is comparable to a dedicated video camera at the same price as this video/camera combo though the sound quality could be better and might be improved by adding mics.

All in all I'm very well pleased.Lire l'avis complet...

Best buy for a DSLR that shoots HD video and can use a multitude of lenses.

Great deal on a great Camera. Lots of features and easy to use, Video is superb, and there are huge number of older and new lenses that will fit this Sony Alpha camera. The SAM2 lens feels cheap but it works perfect, and smooth.Lire l'avis complet...

Sony, same features as Nikon and Canon, but better price

Sony offer great value compared to similar products by Nikon and Canon. My second Alpha. Sony makes a great product.
