About this product

Product Information

The Sony Alpha SLT-A58K digital camera delivers gorgeous photos at a maximum of 8 frames per second. Thanks to its 20.1 megapixel Exmor full HD APS sensor, its automatic HDR, and its ISO sensitivity of 100 to 16,000, digital cameras like this A58 can capture crisp and vivid detail in poor lighting conditions without needing a flash. The BIONZ image processing technology, which converts the raw image to a usable format on the memory stick, significantly reduces noise and improves image quality.The 15-point autofocus system with three cross sensors has a speedy, responsive lock-on function that tracks fast-moving subjects and keeps them in sharp focus. There's no moving mirror inside the device. Instead, Sony's translucent mirror technology delivers much faster reaction times so you can get the perfect shot you want with a variety of lenses. Whether you're shooting stills or video, the Sony A58 is ideal for sports and wildlife. Choose between single-shot, automatic, or continuous autofocus. The lightweight, compact zoom lens can cover any shot from 18mm to 55mm.The high-contrast OLED electronic viewfinder gives you an accurate, real-time display of photos and videos right as you take them, all with a 100 % field of view. The display already factors in any settings or exposure adjustments you've made. The viewfinder features 1,440,000 dots for incredible precision and clarity. In addition, the Sony A58 camera features a 2.7-inch LCD screen with 460,800 dots for viewing images and menus. The LCD screen is hinged at the bottom, so it can tilt down about 55 degrees and up about 135 degrees, allowing you to frame high- or low-angle shots.This type of Sony SLR SLT-A58 cameras let you create extra-wide panoramic images, or they can automatically crop the borders for a much tighter, pro-style composition. Choose from 11 modes and 15 effects that apply advanced processing techniques to increase the visual impact of your videos and pictures. It also has a built-in image stabilization that compensates for a shaking camera.When you need to shoot video, use the Alpha's ability to capture 1080p resolution high-definition video, or use the 1080/30p mode for MP4 movies, depending on the format you like. Your videos will look smooth and crystal-clear no matter the subject you're viewing. Connect the device to your high-definition TV set or monitor and enjoy your digital photos and videos in their full glory. The results speak for themselves.The camera is designed to last. Its light and durable frame has been tested under real-world conditions to withstand normal duress. The camera's internal battery should last for about 700 shots before needing a recharge. The Sony A58 features an HDMI output, a microphone input, a remote commander, a USB 2.0 port, and a memory card slot. The release version of this camera contains a SAL1855-2 zoom lens kit, a shoulder strap, a battery charger, an eyepiece cup, a rechargeable battery, a body cap, a micro USB cable, and a CD.

  • Excellent DSLR Camera

    This camera has been amazing and has far exceeded my expectations. Although it is considered an "outdated" model, it definitely still holds up to current DSLR standards and stands it's ground with cameras I have previously owned. Previously, the Nikon D5300 was my go-to for almost every type of photoshoot, and I have to admit that this camera produces very good image quality, has good battery life, and is loaded with features that do not disappoint in the slightest. I definitely recommend this to anyone just starting out, or well into their photography careers and/or hobby. For the price, you won't find much else better.

  • Great entry level camera, minus the grainy EVF and LCD screen during live view(for both lcd and evf)

    Great product, I bought it as a backup to my special Sony Alpha A57! I took 1 star off because the EVF and live view was grainy, does not affect the quality captured images or videos. I was literally shocked when I noticed how much grainy both live view are! Both viewing methods have more grains than my A57. Additionally the micro hdmi seems faulty sometimes it wont recognize a connected monitor unless I apply some/minor tension on the micro hdmi port, pressure from the front of the camera to make the micro hdmi slight lean towards the back of the camera(towards the lcd screen). The A58 feels faster, lighter, and has more pixels (16 v 20) than my A57. The A57 has a less grainy live view for both EVF and lcd screen, plus the lcd screen has more viewing angle/position versus the A58's up and down tilt limitation.

  • Great for beginner

    Great for beginner. It has almost all of the pro functions. Also has easy to use helpers to make your pictures great. Lens is very versatile. The best thing is being an a-mount makes it so easy to find lenses to use from other brands especially the old Minolta ones. If you want to take great pictures as an amateur without breaking the bank, this is the DSLR for you.

  • Great deal for me

    As an amateur photographer, I was looking for a camera that would accept the old Minolta A-mount lenses, and I found it. This camera works with the 5 other lenses that I have from Minolta. I just couldn't see wasting them or selling them off at a cheap price. At a recent dance review for my granddaughters, I started with the 17-55mm lens that came with it. Only to find out that where we were sitting was a bit too far away. While clarity was great, and pics were perfect, the distance was not good. I switched to my 70-200mm lens, and that was what it needed to take great pics at the distance we were. Still able to pan back and get the whole group, but also able to get the close ups of my granddaughters. Well please with the performance of the camera. Action shots are great. Worth the price.

  • Well worth it for me!

    This camera is the third Sony I now own and the 6th one I have owned over the years. I couldn't be happier with the Sony system and I am absolutely a fan of the mirror-less format. These are great cameras and easy to use for anyone that has even a rudimentary understanding of photography. Well worth the investment as far as I am concerned.

  • Great Image Quality Even w/Digital Zoom

    There was a bit of a steep learning curve for me as I was transitioning from a prosumer point and shoot to a DSLR. Perhaps the biggest surprise was how well the 4X digital zoom works and the quality of the resulting image. Any other camera I've own the only thing that the digital zoom was good for was getting a close enough look at a subject for identification but I had always found the resulting images to be worthless. Not so with the Sony SLT-a58 the image quality at full zoom range is every bit as sharp as you could want so coupled with the 75-300mm lens its the equivalent of having a 1200mm telephoto lens. Of course having the image stabilization built into the body of the camera is a huge cost saving factor compared to the expense of lenses for other cameras where the vibration reduction is incorporated in the lens thus driving costs higher. The video quality is comparable to a dedicated video camera at the same price as this video/camera combo though the sound quality could be better and might be improved by adding mics. All in all I'm very well pleased.
