always been so. You're correct when you say Sony no longer
produces DSLRs. And you're certainly correct about what an A3000
actually is. But it has to go somewhere on the shelf. And Sony
wants it on the shelf next to the real DSLRs. So, they sell the
appropriate lies.  To me, the real shame about it is, that it is
so feature poor. I know they did that for the price point, but
there is such a thing as too cheap. I think it would have been
better if it had been a bit shinier. For the money, the IQ
should be great; but I think Sony made too many compromises to
meet that price point. I think they did the same thing with the
A58. I don't know what it means for Sony's overall direction.
Hopefully, nothing. But
