guys what is the approximately cheapest street price for a300 std package now? does it come with bag? which alpha model come with video recording & live view? thanks

i understand a300 is obsolete but what is the last pricing for it (as a guidance only)? i intend to get it as my 1st dslr because of its 'live view' where else nikon & canon do not have?

i've read photographyblog review about the a330, it is not as good as a300 in term of handling & feel. as for a550 is still very new & the price is not gonna be lot cheaper than the obsolete a300.
my main consideration is i'm a beginner & a300 already given what i need anti shake, anti dust & live view + most of all a more affordable price for me to learn b4 climbing up the ladder.

hopefully i will join this Orange legion very soon & by that time i'll definitely be more active in this thread for more guidance from all sifus here.

Yes! that's my intention now. currently 1 seller is selling the a300 for 1500 std box pkg with hoya cpl filter, no bag.
is it a good buy?

just want to check, anyone of you have reliable info about the lifespan of the alpha shutter? is it repairable & costly once it's dead?
