Just to ask... Is A380 suitable for beginner? Interested in twin kit lens package(18-55/55-200). Totally beginner here. Searched through quite a lot of forums and reviews through google. Its bad side i found so far is... about its grip, lack of AE lock button, 2.5fps, less lens supported(comparing canon/nikon). In good side, for me is tilting screen+quick af live view, price(2255 for twin kit lens) and higher resolution(14.2).
I compared it with D3000 and 1000d.
Any A380 user can comment some?? I'm going for entry level, budget 2k+- with kit lens

for me a230 330 & 380 is a trendy camera.. just for light user use for themself.. thats why they dont need VG, no need AE and they might find the tilt LCD is very useful

. to make it smaller something must be sacrificed. and also rm 2.5k twin kit compared to rm 3k twin kit its 350 older brother last time ..
if you are serious just go for A550..

1k shot for full charge... high quality with a cheap price..
else just go for D3000 or 1000d you compared
