DPReview has posted their review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G10 where they write - `If you're a Sony Alpha (or Konica Minolta) user that shoots mainly at base ISO, in live view and Auto mode the Sony DSLR-A390 is worth a look, and is definitely a more agreeable camera to use than its predecessor.'
The new Sony A390 is a price breaker, a first-time DSLR user's camera. Sony added a little bit more style and value, some extra pixels and a `new' Alpha DSLR is born. With the introduction of the Sony Alpha 390 the Alpha digital SLR range from Sony grows further with a stylish, affordable new entry-level camera. Ideal for first-time DSLR users, the Sony DSLR-A390 offers a dramatic step up in picture quality and creative options from point-and-shoot compact cameras. The Sony Alpha 390 is easy to use, even if you've never handled a DSLR camera before.
The Alpha A290 gets a 14.2 megapixel sensor to match that of the A390, while the A390 adds SD/SDHC compatibility.
Most other specs are consistent with the Alpha A230. The A290 features a Sony a-mount for compatibility with Alpha lenses and offers a 9-point AF system, a 2.7-inch 230,400-dot LCD, and sensor shift Steadyshot image stabilization.
