Hi everyone, just a quick note to let you know I've published my review of the Alpha A330, and as primised, included a video tour which covers all three entry-level Alpha DSLRs. Hope you enjoy it!

Superb as always Gordon!

I just played around with this a bit in the store, and have to say that I quite like the new kit lens. It focuses very fast and very quietly. The changes to the body design irritated me a little bit as I'm quite used to the A300, but I could see myself liking the shortcuts on the crosskeys after a bit more usage.

So essentially, the change irritated me, but it is probably a much better design and I think I'd grow to like it after using it more. I also agree with your observation on the redesigned grip. Too tiny for my liking. Equally dissatisfying to me was the downgrade in FPS from 3 to 2.5 or 2.

In short, some of the changes they made were quite positive, but I feel some were a step backwards. My time with it was too short to come to a definitive conclusion, but I was a little disappointed.

great review as always gordon, still sad about the noise though... But i have a strong feeling this will be the last sony alpha with high iso noise as much as this...
