I have the Alpha 290, however, brought me commercially, there was just a bag then this for the price!
Content per carton
Türlich the camera and lens
Instructions in several languages (also in German)
A CD by Sony (Registration, Image Converter)
A USB cable, the battery, Short instructions, charger and cable and a shoulder strap
So after unpacking the battery was only loaded once from me, then after that I could immediately (after setting the date and time) to go!
NO The camera does not have Live View (there were formerly net, no one had complained) Furthermore, it has no video function (ohhhhhh pity HALLLLOOOOOO that's a photo camera. I want pictures do not record video)
There are several settings on the camera (portrait, landscape, night scene, etc., also there are programs where you can choose shutter speed, etc.)
You always have the most adjustment to the camera, and the menus are self-explanatory.
The display on the back of the camera is the most important information again, rotates with when you hold the camera cross, so that everything can still be read, it also has a proximity sensor, when you look through the viewfinder goes from the screen.
For starters, the 18-55mm lens extends once, of course you should be aware that you may not expect miracles here, and around sharp photos mitbestellten hinzubekommen on a tripod.
The camera in my opinion very good pictures (clearly there are those who can do it better, but we are not professionals and beginners !!!!), in each program, provided one has come up with this little busy.
There is auto focus and manual focus (both on the lens as well as on the camera), and I prefer to work with the manual, unless it has to be fast!
The manual is well out of hand, is not really difficult to adjust.
Also, there is a positive image stabilization on board, even if you are working without a tripod, the images are beautifully sharp (Still better with work)
Logged are the images either on an SD card (SD SDHC as well) or a memory card from Sony, for both there is a slot available, the type of memory can be changed by a lever, particularly if you travel a lot, only lever up or down and already it stores on the other card.
An HDMI output to watch in the domestic TV is available.
I recommend if you want to take good pictures of the book Scott Kelby The Digital Photography Book (Schön explains suitable for beginners, and is also available here at Amazon)
On the subject of follow-up costs that will be jaaaaa have, but that's why we're beginners, usually we have in fact nothing at home, hence can be accessed here unscrupulously!
So love beginners My conclusion:
For entry into the digital SLR photography, this camera is ideally suited for the budget conscious course.
And everyone thinks here now '' as one can only ''. Nice that you have so much money, I did not.
I've had enough, the camera as it is, and I find this very well!
For any questions please message to me!
