User Reviews for Sony Alpha SLT-A58Y (SAL18552 and SAL55200-2) Digital SLR Camera

Finally here is my Review (My Experience).....nnGenerally, like all others i have searched for the DSLR's when i decided to got one..which included the internet rating,personal experience,Photographer's,Friends etc...to select the best cam for my Budget(30-35k). Then i personally took the snap's of NIKON D3200,D5100,D5200,D3100,Canon EOS 550D,600D and Sony DSLT A57,A58. among these cam's, the crality varied from one to another but the technology sony a58 is offering is very advanced for photography in multiple ways than rest of the cam's.nnPro's:n1.ELECTRONIC VIEW FINDERn2.CONTINUOUS 8 SNAPS IN A SECOND(you won't miss a fast moving action)n3.WIDE DYNAMIC RANGEn4.15 POINT FOCAL FRAME SELECTIONn5.IMAGE SIZE-5456 x 3632 (20 M)n6.STILL IMAGES (no motion blur)n7.SUPPORTED ASPECT RATIO-16:9(others cam's 03:02)nnCon's:n1.IMAGE DISPLAY RESOLUTION-460, 800 dotsn2.LCD-2.7 inchnnThose who are into Photography(Wild Life) can go for it without compromising anything. I have brought this Camera about a weak ago and discovering dynamic effects everyday while shooting and till now i had never regretted about my decision as i spent extra 5k for my estimated budget to get this and now i feeling proud that my money worth the product. If you want to purchase the same cam with these spec's you may have to spend some 1L in other model's. Since sony was dominated in DSLR's it released this new product(DSLT) with advanced tech spec's which no other camera posses at this price range. Its good to share my experience with you all.nThank you everyone. &nThank you Sony.

Till the time i went to store for buying the camera, i was having Nikon D3200 and Cannon 1200D in my mind. But when i tried snaps with all the three cams (nikon, cannon and sony), i got very much satisfied and convinced with the performance of Sony. The best features in this cam are.. firstly it is not a DSLR but it is DSLT. nThe advantage of DSLT technology is that, no matter whether you take snaps through view-finder or not, the number of the snaps per second (8fps for sony alpha 58y) will be the same. where as the DSLRs can give their best only through the view-finder.nnThe other interesting feature is.. you need not search for the view-finder button on the cam. The cam comes with a proximity sensor which helps you to automatically switch between the view-finder mode and LCS mode.nnComing to video recording.. this camera has a dynamic auto focus option. It keeps on focusing at objects that are moving infront of the lenses. Where as nikon D3200 and Cannon 1200D come to manual focus mode when recording a video.nnThe most wonderful part of this cam is that, it has a in-build AF motor which can convert a normal lenses(no AF) to AF lenses. So you can buy a normal lenses without AF but still can use it as AF lenses and save lot of money. You can fix lenses of many top ranking lenses makers like Carl Zeiss. For the people who are crazy about wildlife photography and do not wish to lose even a single moment, go for this!! nnThe auto crop option and auto edit options available can help you to auto edit pics on-the-go.nThe image stabilization is very great. The sports mode is incredible and takes the best snaps. You can allow the camera to shoot multiple pics and it'll choose the best pic for you and delete the others automatically. nnSometimes the flash fills lot of light but still you can reduce user shutter speed to regulate it.nnFinally my verdict is.. if you are an entry-level photographer and planning to buy a camera for both home and photography, go ahead, look no further. You'll never regret your choice.

This is indeed the best DSLR for beginners! It has an electronic viewfinder which will seem frustrating to professionals but it is great for beginners! You will get all the settings on your viewfinder itself! A pretty easy to function menu on this! I have been using this for 4 months now and I am very pleased with the performance! Don't hesitate, just buy!!!!!!!!!!!

I am happy that Flipkart delivered this to me - First thing in the morning! nnI am happy that the product is non-defective & it works!nnI am happy that all the mentioned components are actually present!nnBUT These are Expected! nnWhat I am not very happy about :nn1) Noise in low light conditionsnn2) Camera isn't very fast to capture (Processing time)nn3) Kinda heavynn4) 2x Zoom + Focal length of 200Mm - Performance is disappointingnn5) Not a very user friendly body!nnPROs :nnYet to figure out! nnThanks nnKiran

it has been to be know that canon and nikon are the best in dslr technology but the point if sony id bad at that and mega pixels docent matter unless u crop so much....
