prosumer style DSLR-a330

Yesterday was the First a330 available in sony center malaysia. Was called by albert for TT section and the review of the a330. That was a cheap entry level prosumer style DSLR for female market. It was small and the grip was for small hand like girl to hold.










it' was not easy to adjust the dial button in front of the normal gentlemen hands.










the card slot case was using the sliding style and on the left hand side which new design from others alpha.










the mode dial was very small (red arrow) which it's really hard to change mode with our finger/thumb. the red circle shows the selected memory card to be store picture in SD or MS.











the a mount










plastic mount oso. entry level with entry low quality DSLR.











lastly the funny thing about this whole set it's the rear lens cover was not even made from plastic but low quality so called recyclable ketchup dispenser. (black arrow)


In conclusion, a330 was a prosumers category which easy for ladies and was design for ladies to use, alot complicating setting such as built-in flash was open by using DC style software to pop up, white balance cancel the kelvin temperature (which it's most useful), AF setting hide inside the Fn button. instead of putting all outside. In my point of view, this entry level just a pathway into the DSLR territory but u'll need to upgrade to other body for more professional picture quality. Therefor it's not a very good DSLR entry level with lesser profession quality, such as the built quality and also the professional setting.
