Our comment:
Compared to the previously released Sony A200, the A300 has a 14.6 megapixel resolution. If that matters to you a lot, then you would probably buy the A300 when it comes out this April. But wait, the Sony A300’s new Live View mode, with a unique mechanism that moves a mirror inside the pentamirror arrangement to point the image at a secondary sensor above the optical viewfinder could also be something to look out for in the Sony A300 DSLR camera.
