$399.95 on AmazonBest praise vs top criticism for Sony Alpha a58
“Hello! I had an a58 and now i have an a77ii. For the price you can get an a77ii in realy good condition and have spare for something more. It's a realy good camera. It's tropicalized, fixed mirror, decent noise controll up to 800-1200 imo, beefy and it feels realy good in my hand. For cheaper you can defintly get an a58 for 100 or less or a68 for under 200. The a58 was good, it got me some decent shot. Here is my juza if you want to check out some photo https://www.juzaphoto.com/me.php?l=it&p=271653. They are all apsc tho. Full frame a mount is realy pricy so i think it's out your budget.”
