Sony Alpha A390 review

With mirrorless hybrid cameras grabbing all the limelight, the D-SLR market's been a bit quiet of late. Just the right time, then, for Sony to pounce with two new cameras. The A390 is one of two new models aimed at beginners – the other is the cheaper A290. These cameras share the same 14.2-megapixel CCD sensor, but the A390 reviewed here also includes Sony's Quick AF Live View mode and a tilting LCD display. Sony's D-SLR range is confusing at the moment, because there are a number of existing models interwoven with these new ones. You can ignore the older A230 and A330, though, and treat the A290 as the new entry-level model, the A390 as the next one up and the A450 as Sony's first 'intermediate' SLR. But you might also notice a certain similarity in specs between the A390 and the A380 launched over a year ago. The resolution is the same, the Live View system is the same and the tilting LCD screen is the same. So what's actually new? Well, Sony says it's redesigned the grip for better handling, and reorganised the buttons, but that appears to be it.

Sony Alpha A390 review

Adding to Sony's now bulging DSLR range, the A390 seems like a quick replacement DSLR for the A380 - the latter having received much criticism for its sunken grip that made it trickier to hold for extended use. The A390 adds the more traditional DSLR grip, aligning it with the other Sony DSLR range's style, but there's little else on offer. Does this make the A390 a worthy new addition to the Alpha series, or is it simply what the A380 always should have been...? The entry-level DSLR market has been awash with many affordable cameras for some years now. The A390 has a number of attractive features to attempt to make it stand out from the crowd: it's capable of capturing stills at a high-resolution 14.2 megapixels and the 2.7in, 230K-dot LCD on the back has a tilt-angle capability that allows for vertical angling to face upward or downward for waist-level or over-the-head shooting. Full time live preview, or live view, also features but has an extra sheen in the form of Sony's Quick AF Live View system that adds an additional sensor compared to competitors' models for much faster autofocus when in this mode.
