sony� a35 dslr camera + zoom lens image
Joyce
Okay so I am 13, a girl, and I really love photography. I was supposed to get my first DSLR camera for Christmas but I don't know what kind to get.
My friend got a Sony a580 or something like that and the pictures are awesome. Except then I heard that Sony isn't as food as Canon and Nikon, since it's new. I was going to get the same camera as my friend because I'm not sure if I need like a bajillion different lenses that Canon and Nikon have.
I was going to get the Samsung ST550, a digital camera that was dual screen, because I heard it has a great "beauty" feature. And I wish that they made a DSLR that also had a beauty feature, because I'm not getting the Samsung. And it's not like I can just bring a DSLR camera to school and take pictures with my friends, so I'm using my iPhone 4 as my "digital" camera. Or like a camera I can take anywhere. I like to take pictures of random things, ahahaha. Self portraits for Facebook profile pictures, my dog, babies and toddlers from church, nature, and flowers, and jumping/moving pictures. And over Spring Break, our whole entire extended family is going to Hawaii and I want to take pictures, and I don't think my phone will cut it.
So what DSLR camera should I get? And I probably wont get a lot of lenses.
I want the Sony a580.
Model Features: 16.2MP, Exmor⢠APS sensor, 1080/60i Full HD movies, two types of Live View, Face Detection, 3D Sweep Panorama, tiltable 3.0" LCD, up to 7 fps continuous shooting, 18-55mm DT zoom lens included.
Sony a55.
Model Features: 16.2MP, Translucent Mirror Technologyâ¢, Quick AF Full HD Movie, GPS tagging, Live View with Phase detection, 10 fps, 15-point auto focus, 18-55mm zoom lens included.

Well. you're proving my point. Sony is very good at marketing cameras with just the right feature set to appeal to the uninformed bebinner.
It all depends. If you want to get serious about photography then look at a nikon d3100 with an 18-105 lens. If you want to stay in the "let\s keep it on full auto and pump out a steady stream of shots typical for my age" then any DSLR will do and sony will add the bonus of perhaps the best liveview system

Answer
The Sony SLT A35 is an upgrade of the earlier SLT A33. However, the SLT A65 is an even more advanced version of the A35.
Here is a hands-on preview of the SLT A65:

Yes, the SLT A65 is more expensive.
Sony SLT A65 w/18-55mm zoom lens, $999.99 at B&H.
Sony SLT A35 w/18-55mm zoom lens, $699.99 at B&H.

By using Translucent Mirror Technology in their SLT series Sony has eliminated the decades old moving mirror still used by Nikon and Canon in their comparably-priced DSLR cameras. The TMT allows for full-time phase-detect auto focus whether you're shooting still pictures or 1080p HD video. Although Canon and Nikon have models that allow for auto focus during video they both use contrast-detect auto focus which is slower and produces a visible choppiness in the video. Another advantage of the TMT is that the viewfinder never goes dark. You are literally watching the scene even as the shutter is firing to make the exposure.
All Sony DSLR camera models use the legacy Minolta Maxxum "A" lens mount that dates back to 1985. This means that you have access to a large selection of previously owned lenses of excellent quality. Sony also placed a focusing motor in their camera bodies so those legacy Maxxum AF lenses will auto focus on the SLT A35 or A65 as they should. With Nikon you have to buy either the D90 (about to be discontinued) or the D7000 if you want a focusing motor in the camera body.
Another Sony feature is the in-camera Image Stabilization. Any lens used, even a Maxxum AF 70-210mm zoom made in 1985, becomes an IS lens. Nikon and Canon certainly can't say that since they have their versions of IS in some but not all of their lenses and you pay for it over and over. So if you ever decide to add a 50mm f1.4 prime lens to your kit it will be an IS lens on any Sony DSLR.
I suggest seriously considering spending the extra $300.00 and buying the Sony SLT A65.
