Nikon Imaging Launched New Entry-Level DSLR D60 whith 10.2 Mpix CCD image sersor and Expeed image Proccessor

Sony Launched digital SLR camera DSLR A350 with 14.2 Mpix and DSLR A300 with 10.2 Mpix at PMA 2008. They both offer Sony’s new Quick AF Live View technology so you can frame photos on the camera’s 2.7-inch LCD without sacrificing auto-focusing speed common to other live-view systems. Sony’s innovative Pentamirror Tilt mechanism directs light to a dedicated live view image sensor, enabling fast and responsive TTL phase-detection auto-focusing, even during live view.  The DSLR-A300 model can shoot about three continuous frames per second and the DSLR-A350 model can shoot up to two-and-a-half continuous frames per second, when using the optical viewfinder.

You can buy with price 800 USD for DSLR-A300 with a DT 18-70mm f3.5-5.6 standard zoom and 900 USD for DSLR-A350 with DT-18-70 mm f3.5-5.6 3.9x zoom lens
