Sony DSR-400PL

Advantages: Packed with extras, looks good and feels good.
Disadvantages: See review for the very minor con`s.

...a certain camera may have certain settings and options that they don't actually work too well and the images suffer when they are used. This is rarely the case with DSLR`s because they are designed to be used manually and it is certainly not the case with this unit. Every function offered works brilliantly to produce stunning images. To make some comparisons I went out and about with this unit as well as a Canon 400D and a Nikon D60, I took a photo using the same lens type on each camera in fully automatic mode and when the images are compared the one from the Sony A350 is clearer, sharper and all together more impressive, I then began to manually set settings (the same for each camera of course) and the only time the Sony was beaten and even then only just was when the Nikon D60 produced better results in poor light with a long shutter time...

Advantages: Great functions, east to use, looks and feels good and produces great images.
Disadvantages: The kit lens isnt the best and no live view may bother some.

When it comes to upgrading you are in good hands too because all the lenses or flash units you may have bought for the A200 will fit straight on to its big brother the A700 and will also work with any future upgrades to the Sony Alpha range in the future.

Advantages: Wait a minute, it's in the review
Disadvantages: Not many but the ones there are pretty shrill

...Tiny little professional. That’s what I call Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-T900. It’s perfectly aware what is expected of it, and does it with aplomb and alacrety. It is impressive and impressive all the way. It’s not just like that billions world over think of Sony first and then any body else while choosing a camera and prepaid pay for it. THE DESIGN: The Sony Cyber-Shot DSC T900, is an elegant, stylish, ultra compact digital camera with almost all the latest of technologies tucked inside it. Boasting of class with metal body , sliding front plate and folded optics. The wrist strap wounds up from the right to behave as a thumbrest. Just the power and shutter buttons right on top. The zoom ring loops the shutter release and a switch behind the ring to toggle between capturing movies and stills. Playback control is at the top... Read review
