We have almost forgotten that Sony announced the A450 few months ago. For those of you interested in seeing how the camera performs WhatDigitaLCamera posted the new A450 review. Check it out: http://www.whatdigitalcamera.com/equipment/reviews/digitalslr/127941/1/sony-alpha-a450-review.html
oh! And their verdict begins with following statement “The a450 excites and perplexes.“

Meh, i think sony can do better than this. There’s nothing too compelling about this camera that will make people want to buy it, only the 7fps shooting. But what kind of beginner really needs that anyways?
WHY CAN’T IT SHOOT VIDEO!!!
I don’t see a need for this camera in Sony’s line up. What they need is an a700 replacement that can compete with a 7D, with photo and video. Oh, And make it cheaper.
David – it’s an upgrade for A200/230 owners.
And the A700 replacement is on it’s way, but as for the price I doubt it’d be cheaper than Canikon competitive cameras… perhaps a bit, but not a significant difference.
this is a holy grail for photographers… it does exactly what it supposed to do, take pictures, nothing more nothing less, no nonsense at a low price, if it had MLU it would be a great upgrade for a2x/a3xx users.
i rather pay less and get only a optical VF than a lot more for video+live view.
the best camera for video right now it seems to be the NEX so for people who want video just buy a nex and let sony concentrate on making tools for people who are interested only in photography…i never heard Ansel Adams complaining that his camera didn’t have video…
Hey, Myst, Video wasn’t around then. Ansel Adams didn’t even have that option or know what it was.
