Customer Review: Forget Sony……
Following one week of using my Sony A300, it was no longer working. Upon Sonys’ request, it was sent to one of their repair centers, who advised me that the LCD (an interior piece)was broken and not covered by the warranty. I contacted Sony who stated that it was my fault, that the interior piece was broken and that I had to pay for the repair ($151.00), they called me about four times to restate, that I was responsible, it seems that with Sony the customer is always in the wrong.Sony Alpha DSLRA300K 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera with Super SteadyShot Image Stabilization with DT 18-70mm f/3.5-5.6 Zoom Lens
Customer Review: Good camera from Sony
The A300 sits between the featureless A200 and the A350. It’s a good camera, with excellent dynamic range and one of the best Live View implementations out there. However, the kit lens is mediocre to say the least and as a result, the camera’s performance is compromised. My camera was defective and even though the problem was not a serious one, I returned it and went for a refund, which I used to buy the new Olympus E520.
