Opinion about Alpha 500.

[mink2]

Hello, everybody.

Have anyone tried Alpha 500? I am thinking of buying one, but haven't had much luck finding any reviews about it. The "reviews" I have seen so far was descriptions about its features.

Thanks.

I bought the Sony Alpha A500 for the main purpose of taking pictures and i happy to used it.This camera automatically takes the shot when the subject smiles with smiles adjustable parameters for screen display and the level of smile. Continuous shooting at a speed of 5 fps EVF / 4 fps Live View. The Face Detection function improves the performance of Quick AF Live View, following up to 8 faces in a scene and optimizing exposure, and the new HDR automatic mode creates images with an extremely dynamic range.
