Great SLR for beginners.

we used two analog Minolta Spiegereflexkameras. After entry into the digital world I have only photographed with compact cameras, Canon last models. Since I was not so satisfied with the results of these cameras, as it did with the analogue SLR's matured a desire for a digital SLR. Since I am casual amateur photographer and not feel like a long preparation times for a photograph and minimizes image editing on PC have, which initially favored semiprofessional models from Nikon and Canon were too sophisticated and too expensive for me. A consultant gave me the idea to try it with the Sony SLT-A58. I'm not disappointed because the intelligent automatic settings already provide great photos and if necessary I can manually intervene. A bit annoying I find the pixelated image on the display and viewfinder. But for such a low price you can live without that. All in all a great camera.
