Sony continues its rather peculiar tradition of blurring the line between MILC and dSLR cameras as the company unveiled the latest addition to its E-mount portfolio, the Sony A3000. Lens mount aside though, the A3000 is more akin to Sony’s SLT cameras, particularly the SLT-A37, in terms of design compared to its buddies in the E-mount department. The two cameras (A3000 and SLT-a37) have so much in common that one has to look a little closer to identify some of the subtle differences. In terms of its photography features, the A3000 has all the basic stuff that you’d typically look for in camera in this class. But the most enticing aspect of the A3000 will have to be probably its price, which is pegged at USD399.99. Sadly, Sony has to cut back on some of its features in order to achieve that pricing. Nevertheless, the new Sony A3000 provides less-demanding consumers with an affordable alternative for the pricey NEX-6/7, when it becomes available starting on the latter part of September. Sony finally lent me one of their limited Sony Vaio P to test out for a week. Read more in our articles including "Sony A3000; SLT camera with an NEX mount" and "Sony Vaio P: Unboxing Photos".
