       The third place - Sony's Alpha a68 DSLR. This Camera is an entry-level camera which offers many features found in bigger, pricier DSLR cameras, but in a compact and well-designed format. It's body costs around $598.00.

       It’s image quality comes from 24.2MP APS-C Exmor CMOS sensor and the BIONZ X processor, and together they produce highly detailed images at sensitivities up to ISO 25600 and at continuous rates up to 8 fps.

      Even the AF system in this camera is something special, thanks to the 4D Focus system and use of Sony's Translucent Mirror Technology, continuous AF can be maintained during shutting. Even though this camera came out in 2016, this system is speedy and accurate for 2019, utilizing a wide amount of 79 phase-detect AF points with 15 cross-type points that work at down to -2 EV.

      The body which features both a rear and front control dial, as well as a top control panel for quick access to settings, will fit in hand very comfortably.

Low resolution back LCD, and Sony isn’t focusing on A-mount lenses as much, they are focusing more on E-mount lenses for mirrorless cameras. But that means that You can get lots of used and new lenses for good price. Plus, the in-body image stabilization is a very good bonus for hand held photography or Video.
