Sony Alpha DSLR-A380 Full Review on CNET UK
Rod Lawton, the reviewer, assigned a rating score of 6.1 / 10 (GOOD) to the camera, and writes:
The picture quality is very good, but the small increase in pixels compared to a 12-megapixel dSLR doesn’t deliver that much more real-world definition. And, while the A380 goes all the way up to ISO 3,200, the picture quality is already pretty rough at ISO 1,600 — at least by current dSLR standards.

Margaret Brown, the reviewer, assigned the camera an overall rating score of 9 / 10, and writes:
Like the A350, the review camera was very straightforward to operate, regardless of whether the viewfinder or LCD monitor was used for composing shots. With normal light levels, autofocusing was generally fast and accurate but in dim lighting, finding focus was something of a hit-and-miss exercise. Focusing for flash shots was more efficient because the camera uses the flash as an AF illuminator.Live View shooting was particularly good when the tilting LCD was angled up or down. It also worked well when the camera was held vertically. Metering was close to spot-on in a wide variety of light levels. The built-in image stabiliser proved effective in dim lighting; we estimate it can provide up to 3EV of shutter speed advantage for experienced photographers.
