- Good Points
- Over all the DSLR a300 gets 10 ot of 10 for performance, style and value for money. However if your a novice photographer the camera is very easy to use, but may find the functions a bit tricky to understand at first, if your thinking about good holiday shots or wanting that professional look from your photographs, then look no more as the DSLR a300 has it all.
- Bad Points
- Cannot find one negative point to say about the DSLR a300 camera.

Summary: The A300 is not the only budget dSLR with live view, and its 10-megapixel resolution is pretty ordinary too. It feels crude and plasticky and the live view 'solution' is hardly elegant. But it is very practical, and in fact the whole camera has an...
Conclusion: And the camera itself has a slightly crude feel, partly because of the chunky plastic bodywork and partly from the coarse-sounding startup and autofocus systems. The engineering lash-up used to produce the live view system, meanwhile, leaves the...
Pro : Straightforward live view ; Tilting LCD ; Great colour rendition
Cons : Plasticky feel ; Noisy AF ; Weak kit lens

Summary: The A300 is the piggy in the middle of Sony's entry-level dSLR line-up. But does it suffer from middle child syndrome or is it the pick of the bunch?
Conclusion: Conclusion Seeming to buck the trend of middle child syndrome, the A300 is the pick of the bunch from Sony's entry-level dSLR range unless you need resolution greater than 10.2 megapixels. There are a couple of quirks with the model, but nothing...
Pro : Tilting LCD screen ; Easy to use ; Well-placed controls
Cons : Relatively heavy for an entry-level dSLR ; Kit lenses leave something to be desired

Summary: Joining the A350 in the middle of Sony's Alpha SLR line-up, the A300 is a fairly similar camera to its big brother.
Conclusion: While some competing units may be better for more advanced users, Sony's Alpha A300 is a compelling option for first-time SLR buyers with its combination of image quality, features and an intuitive menu.
Pro : Best Live View implementation on the market, good image quality, sensor-based stabilisation, intuitive interface
Cons : Images come out somewhat soft with default lens, resolution a little lower than some of the competition
