Summary: Willoughby's and Sony Alpha 300k review

Comment: After reading a few reviews on Willoughby's I was a bit skeptical about ordering from them. I did more research and decided to purchase from them.
I'm so GLAD that I did. I received everything in my "kit"...except for one thing. The media reader. I called and a really nice man answered the phone. I explained the situation and about 2-3 days later I received the media reader.
Now as for the camera..oh my! I LOVE IT. Just about every picture comes out crisp and clear (even the ones of kids dashing about at a fall festival). I was in a long search for a Digital SLR Camera. For the past 4 years I've been using a Fujifilm FinePix S5100. I was very happy with it until the battery cap broke on both sides (body and cap). I already knew beforehand that I wanted to move on up to a DSLR...so I wasn't that upset parting with it. =)
I plan on buying a better lens for Christmas.

Editorial reviews:

Sony's Alpha DSLR-A300: the camera that links you and your subject. For first-time DSLR users, Sony combines superb 10.2-megapixel quality, a high-quality DT 18-70mm f3.5-5.6 standard zoom lens, and Live Preview in a large, tilting 2.7-inch LCD monitor for point-and-shoot simplicity. You'll have super-quick AF response, 3 fps continuous shooting while you see your subject in the viewfinder, and high sensitivity (ISO 3200) for great low-light shots. What's more, you get simple controls, Creative Style settings and in-camera Super SteadyShot image stabilization that work with every Sony, Carl Zeiss and legacy Minolta a-mount lens. Stamina power for up to 740 shots, Auto Pop-up Flash and many more features make DSLR model an excellent choice for your favorite new hobby.
