"New" Sony Alpha 390 DSLR gets heavy criticism

The "new" Sony Alpha 390 DSLR has been given a "quick review" by DPReview.com. The review is by Barnaby Britton who worked at "Amateur Photographer" until recently. The A390 gets strong criticism for being thoroughly out-of-date, with the only significant upgrade from the A380 being a larger handgrip. Apparently, even the new handgrip still isn't as good as the one on the A380's predecessor, the A350. The list of Cons is very long, with some serious deficiencies noted. The list of Pros is short, with significant reservations. Overall, the camera gets what I believe to be the lowest rating ever given to any DSLR on DPReview.com: a truly pathetic 60%. The Alpha range is dying. I think it may have started 'dying' the day Sony bought it from Minolta.
