Sony Alpha 3000 review – The competition
With a street price of around £260 including an 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lens, the Canon EOS 1100D presents strong competition for users who are looking to buy a budget camera with the look and feel of a professional DSLR. However, the Sony Alpha’s 20.1-million-pixel sensor offers better resolution than the 12.2 million pixels of the EOS 1100D. The Alpha 3000 also has a higher ISO sensitivity range (ISO 100-16,000) than the ISO 100-6400 of the Canon model.
The Samsung NX1000 has an APS-C-sized, 20.3-million-pixel sensor with high ISO capabilities and good image quality, all for a similar price to the Sony camera. The NX1000 is more compact and portable, but doesn’t have the same DSLR style feel or EVF.
