Introductory Paragraph The Sony α390 is a bridge between the classic Minolta legacy and modern Sony innovation. By utilizing the Sony A-mount, this camera (S/N: 4855841) is fully compatible with the vast library of vintage Minolta AF lenses, known for their "Minolta colors" and smooth bokeh. The 14.2MP sensor provides enough resolution for large, detailed prints, while the CCD technology ensures that skin tones and landscapes look natural and saturated. With its intuitive controls and built-in stabilization, the α390 is a reliable tool for anyone who wants to experience the unique aesthetic of a CCD-sensor DSLR without sacrificing modern conveniences like a tilting screen.

Condition Report Good condition. The camera body (S/N: 4855841) shows normal signs of light use and minor cosmetic surface wear consistent with its age. The 14.2MP CCD sensor is clean and free from scratches. The Minolta AF 35-70mm f/4 lens (S/N: 1024661) is optically clear, free from fungus, haze, or significant scratches. The autofocus and SteadyShot INSIDE systems have been tested and are fully operational. The tilting LCD mechanism is firm and the display is bright. All buttons and dials function correctly.

Specialist Note "The α390 is one of the last and best CCD-sensor DSLRs ever made. What makes this specific kit (S/N: 4855841) a treasure is the Minolta 35-70mm f/4 lens included. Often called the 'Little Beercan,' this lens is a cult favorite for its sharpness and the way it renders out-of-focus areas. Having a constant f/4 aperture means your exposure doesn't change when you zoom, which is a professional feature rarely found in kit lenses. Combined with the 14.2MP sensor, this setup produces images with a depth and character that modern entry-level cameras often lack. It’s a perfect kit for someone who appreciates high-quality glass and the unique 'soul' of a CCD sensor."
