Sony Alpha DSLR A290 Review
June 12th, 2010 No Comments Posted in Digital SLR Cameras
The A290 and A390 together now have the 14.2-megapixel, in-body stabilized CCD sensor of the outgoing A380. Compared to their ancestors, they also have a simpler top control layout and a redesigned grip that should be more comfortable to hold.
Differences between the two revolve around displays, much like the gap between earlier Alpha models. The A290 has a fixed 2.7-inch LCD and depends on its optical viewfinder alone for previews. Moving to the A390 changes to a tilting display and gives the option of live view from the LCD. Either has a simplified menu system for new photographers, both Memory Stick Pro Duo and SDHC for storage and HDMI video out.
Video recording is still absent on either camera
