    Impressed with cheap Sony aLPHA Camera and Minolta Lenses (pics)

    So I tested out a refurbished Sony alpha 330 camera I just purchased ($270) and a used Minolta 35-70mm lens ($45). I am pretty impressed with the image quality of this little package. Proof you don't need uber expensive gear to take decent images:

          The Sony alpha is a good camera. I almost bought one but ended up buying another Nikon.

                  Just sold my couple years old Alpha 100 (almost never used it, will go for some advanced point-and-click instead as it's so much easier to carry around) but I was always impressed how well Sony did with the Konica Minolta buyout deal. Their latest models are fabulous.

                              I love my Sony A100. It takes great pictures. It really shines in manual modes. I am thinking about upgrading it to the A55 this year.

                                  I agree the pics are good for a $300 setup, yet it's way behind when it comes to tiny details that makes you recognize a pro dslr and expensive glass it was shot with.

                                  depth of field is the first thing that comes to my mind

                                      No doubt more expensive camera bodies and lenses have their advantages. For example, when I shoot sports/auto racing, I definitely need as much burst FPS as I can get. Only the more expensive bodies have 8 (or higher) frames per second burst speed.

                                      But a lot of times, I feel people overlook entry level or older generation equipment.

                                              very true HOWEVER if you continue to progress in your photography, and decide to move forward you'll find that the Sony system is limited in options.

                                              the nikon system offers me more options and the glass I have invested in will quite possibly be usuable for the next 20 years.

                                                  Nice man. Definitely a step up from that camera on your flip phone you've been using until now.

                                                      Looks good indeed, I am also pro alpha D-SLRs. Canon and Sony all the way. I would even attempt to buy anything else.

                                                              Nice looking pics
                                                              Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
                                                              think about that
