The Sony Alpha A290 14.2MP Digital SLR Camera is the successor to the entry-level Sony alpha A230 and, like its predecessor, only a comparatively minor update. The most substantial change is a new grip design that should allow for more comfortable handling, especially with longer lenses. The other major modification is the image-stabilized 14.2MP CCD sensor that we’ve previously seen in the Sony alpha A380. As with the previous models the entry-level Sony alpha A290 has a fixed LCD and no live view but a larger viewfinder than the better specified models that come with live view and a swivel-screen. The 14.2 MP CCD has been around for a while and while image quality at low ISO sensitivity settings is certainly good enough to satisfy the demands of small prints or screen-sized web galleries things fall apart a bit above ISO 800. Images become very distinct, even in small prints.
