The new Sony A390 DSLR camera targeting first-time DSLR users will be available in stores this summer.
The brand new Sony A390 DSLR camera combines style and value for first-time DSLR users, offering an on-screen Help Guide and Graphic Display. The Help Guide is claimed to offer clear and concise explanations of camera functions, illustrated by a sample image to show the results you'll achieve. The Graphic Display aims to make it easy to understand the relation between shutter speed and aperture, plus the effects of your chosen exposure settings on the final picture.
Sony A390 Features
The 14.2-megapixel Sony A390 sports a 2.7-inch screen with Quick AF Live View, promising speedy phase-detection autofocus combined with the live image preview. The camera features a new grip design for more comfortable handling, and its upper control areas have also been revised with a new button layout.
An image sensor shift mechanism powers the camera's SteadyShot function, and an integrated mini HDMI port lets users connect the Sony A390 directly to HDTVs. There are also Memory Stick Pro Duo and SD/SDHC memory slots.
The Sony A390 weighs in at 549g and measures 128.1 by 97.1 by 83.5mm. Sony claims a battery life of up to 500 images with viewfinder and up to 230 images in live view mode.
