 Sony A390 digital SLR camera : Already rumoured earlier in numerous Asian forums we bring you the news of a new entry-level digital SLR camera, the Sony DSLR-A390.

Ideal for first-time DSLR users, the Sony DSLR-A390 offers a dramatic step up in picture quality and creative options from point-and-shoot compact cameras.
