The SLT-A58K I had bought for my friend who previously had only experience with analog SLR cameras. Before buying I had SLR camera as much as possible try to inform me "real" about the pros and cons of the camera, and especially about the difference between this camera and a SLT - Keyword semi-transparent mirror, electronic viewfinder, etc. I am came to the conclusion that this camera could be the right one for my girlfriend.
The camera body is made entirely of plastic, but which made a quite quality impression on me. After initial charging the battery, duration about 2 hours, and the setting up of the supplied lens, the first photo-attempts have been made.
The operation of the camera and to navigate through the menus was made very intuitive. The first photos were shot exclusively by means of the respective automatic programs of the camera. I, who had been photographed only with (even quite ordinary) compact cameras was amazed at qualitative difference there was to these photos. The images of the Sony camera were all significantly better.
My girlfriend is still busy taking photos and so far very satisfied with the camera. Currently, she is just beginning with it, to make manual adjustments when shooting, from which it apparently many are on the camera to test the effect. The next purchase will probably be another objective.
So far we are very happy with the camera, so from my, non-professional perspective, 5 stars.
