I am a new to DSLR, I was using a pocket type Canon SX100 IS before. Compare to other compitetors in its class...I like A300 because of: - Live view (oven though no so accurate and bright), still useful for me occasionally. - Well built body (not cheap looking plastic-compared to EOS XSi), enough weight to make me comfortable and feel little bit pro. - Fast AF, easy controls.</p> <p>Things that made me really disappointed: - Terrible color accuracy. I've been trying to find the perfect setting (white balance and creative setting) whole night to get the best color...and it's failed. Compare to my Canon SX 100 ($300 cheaper), A300 is way far behind. My canon is perfectly give very identical color to what my eyes see. - Expensive additional lens (if you want to get better and sharper lenses) - The kit lens also far behind my Canon SX100 IS in producing details and sharpness. My canon still can make very sharp pictures in its longest zoom (10x about 360mm focal length)...again the A300 kit lens way far behind. You have invest for about US$ 500-600 to get sharper lens.</p> <p>Conc: I've been using my A300 for 1 week, and thinking to sell it!</p> I’ve been researching from the internet for aboout a month before I decided to have an Alpha 300.

A good deal of nonsense is talked about the kit lens; in my opinion it is better than most offered by others. The pictures produced are as good as any of their contemporaries, maybe better (within the price range).</p> I’ve been an enthusiast for many years and find the A300 one of the most satisfying cameras I have owned.
