Sony A3000 Cheap DSLR Camera

Sony A3000 DSLR camera is not an old camera but this is one of those cheap DSLR cameras in market. Not because it's a bad camera but maybe because it has less demand due to people always go for Canon or Nikon. You can find a used model for less than $250 with a 18-55mm Lens! It's not a bad camera feature wise and received lots of positive feedback from users. But when you are talking about cheap camera deals most people  except only Canon DSLR or Nikon DSLR cameras so not many interested in Sony DSLR cameras.

Battery life known to be pretty bad and Canon and Nikon users are telling this camera is terrible. Well it's a cheap DSLR camera and you can get it for less than $400 in market. Even Canon SX50 HS camera cost you more than $400 and it's not even a DSLR camera. I think you need to decide if this camera is for you or not depending on your budget and what do you expect. 

If you are a Canon or Nikon camera fan then I suggest not to buy this one and just go for a Nikon D3300 or Canon EOS Rebel T4i depending on your taste. It gonna cost you more but you don't want to regret it later thinking you have picked the wrong camera. There many professional level photographers who use Sony Alpha DSLR cameras and happy with those. So can't say this camera is really bad or anything.

The interesting fact is you can even get one of these for less than $300 in market and it's not easy to get a good DSLR for that cheap. I suggest anyone who interested in this camera to read Amazom Reviews about it and decide if it's the camera for you or not. I have noticed many happy customers who knows this Sony A3000 camera.
