Good Value but not equal to Nikon
(Jim Valentino - 10/18/09)I usually use my Nikon for my wedding and portrait photography. I bought the A300 with the 18-200 Sony lens and battery grip to use on vacations and to carry around in the Jeep. It was 1/2 the cost of my Nikon and for 90% of the photos, you could not tell the difference. It falls short in dim light. There is much more noise at ISO 800 and above than Nikon and Nikon will autofocus in much dimmer light. But for 1/2 the price of the Nikon, it has taken some remarkable photos and is well worth the money. The flash system is the best as it is the easiest and quickest to attach an external flash and the contacts always seem to align properly.
