In summary the Sony A350 builds on the proven design of the A200 by adding a few key features that really make a difference, particularly appealing to the compact camera user who wants to upgrade to a DSLR, but doesn't want too much of a steep learning cu
With a sensor resolution of 14.2-megapixels, the A350 occupies a relatively new band in the digital SLR market, along with the 14.6-megapixel, £800 Pentax K20D. Neither market leaders Canon nor second-placed Nikon has anything that directly competes in th
It's certainly a competitively-priced, well-specified camera and one that feels better-constructed than many of its rivals. It's also one that smoothes down the learning curve while still offering a huge step up in all-round performance compared to compac
Despite a few shortcomings, the autofocus-enabled live view is the best I’ve come across and is exactly what compact owners looking to upgrade to a DSLR have been waiting for. I would even say that Sony has set a benchmark for how live view systems should
Excellent performance and great image quality combine neatly within in an easy to use body and good price that make the Sony Alpha 350 worthy of serious consideration
Despite a few issues which will annoy technical photographers, the Alpha A350 is an excellent DSLR with great features and arguably one of the best Live View implementations to date. Given all it offers for the asking price we can easily award it our High
This one is really a no-brainer. At $799 USD for the body only, the Sony alpha DSLR-A350 is a terrific camera for the price. I’d avoid the kit lens and spend a little extra for the 16-80mm Zeiss edition--and you’ll be set for years. This D-SLR has a nice,
Sony's Alpha A350 is another great SLR offering a combination of incredibly high resolution pictures, a robust list of features and a simple easy interface.
Metering is excellent but with the Live View, the 1200-zone metering performance is amazingly accurate even in difficult lighting situations. Overall then the 350’s performance is excellent and the image quality, even at higher ISOs is very good indeed an
All of the new Alpha cameras are fast, easy to operate, and capable of generating beautiful images. Any of this trio would be a fine choice for first time D-SLR buyers and for many photo enthusiasts. The A300 and A350 provide Live View, a definite bonus b
Despite its consumer electronics history, we could grumble that Sony’s SLR range isn’t as comprehensive as more established photographic brands and lacks rivals’ numbers of accessories and add-ons. But if you just want a camera that does the job from the
You tend to classify the Sony A350 as a semi-pro camera. Not a bad thing, because it shows that the housing and appearance of the camera give you a good feeling, certainly with the Carl Zeiss lens mounted on the camera. However, you have to adjust the exp
Announced shortly after the DSLR-A200 model, Sony's DSLR-A350 offers higher resolution and a variable-angle LCD that supports live view shooting. This makes the camera body slightly thicker and heavier than the A200 - although it's still significantly sma
Sony has built this camera to a price, and that’s a shame as it’s capable of some stunning images. If you can ignore the build quality and get your head around all those buttons, switches and sliders, then it’s great. Shame about the Sony kit lens though!
While we like Sony's Super SteadyShot anti-shake system, and the Live View is certainly an improvement over earlier offerings, to take full advantage of the 14-megapixel sensor you'll need to budget for some of the maker's more classier optics, which are
Une définition record (14,2 Mpix) et une utilisation simplifiée par l'utilisation de la visée sur écran avec un véritable autofocus, l'Alpha 350 possède de sérieux arguments en plus d'une qualité d'image plus que satisfaisante. Seuls les accros à la visée
Unless you're prepared to spend a disproportionate amount of money on a really good lens, the resolution bump offered by the Sony Alpha DSLR-A350 isn't worth the price.
The camera tends to underexpose, usually by around a third of a stop. The metering system did some strange things -- a photo I took one day was underexposed by over 1 stop. I went back a few days later and, with the same lighting conditions, took a shot t
For imaging creatives, one of the most offputting aspects of the Alpha A350 also applies to others in the range, and that’s the maker’s somewhat pricey and limited choice of system accessories and optics. While there are some outstanding optical designs i
More like a compact camera in many ways, the Sony A350 packs D-SLR-like specifications such as 14.2 megapixel resolution and interchangeable lenses. However, Sony is upfront about the fact that it's designed to be used with live-view on the camera back, n
