Review of Sony a (alpha) DSLR-A350K by  thebigc1690

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

...on Sony DSLR`s can change this. Other things you will probably like to know before rushing out to buy yourself one of these will be that it uses a compact flash memory card or a memory stick duo and can handle ones up to 8GB, it uses a rechargeable lithium battery (NP-FM500H) which will allow you to take aprox 730 pictures between charges, it has a video out jack as well as a USB and it also has a jack to allow the shutter to be used by remote control and one of my favourite little things about the camera is its tilting LCD screen which allows you to position the screen away from bright lights and eliminates that problem of not being able to fully see what you are shooting. All of these things and many others go a long way to making this one of the best introductory DSLR cameras I have ever used. IMPORTANT SPECIFICATIONS Lens Mount... Read review

Another 5 star Sony!
Review of Sony a (alpha) DSLR-A200K by  thebigc1690

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.

...- 105 35mm equiv.), NP-FM500H rechargeable battery, BC-VM10 battery charger, Video and USB cables, Shoulder strap with eyepiece cap and Remote Commander clip, Body cap, IDC and IDL Software/USB Driver via CD-ROM( Note: no Memory Stick media nor the adaptors are included and are purchased separately) So if that list of specifications and the review that went before it have not made your mind up then here are another couple of things that may help sway you. The Sony A200 also has an excellent anti-shake mechanism built into the body which means you have no need to buy expensive anti-shake lenses to get those steady shots at low speeds or low light, it can also capture shots in burst mode at up to 3 frames per second and can do this continuously in JPEG shooting until your memory card is full which is great for sports photography and a 10...

Point and shoot the Sony way!
Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W220 by  thebigc1690

Advantages: Great features, good image quality and all at a great price.
Disadvantages: Only a couple (see review)!

...compact. Build wise it feels very strong and durable for such a small unit and looks wise it is a very attractive unit as you would expect from Sony as they are a company renowned for good looking products, for me this unit looks best in silver but everyone will have their own opinion on that. As with any camera, the most important thing should be the final image quality and not how shiny or nice it looks so what did I make of the image quality? Well I was very impressed with the majority of the 500 images I took over three days of use and the indoor portrait shots I took using it with professional studio lighting were fantastic. As well as those images I went on to take some outdoor shots at the safari park (which you can see if you are reading this on Ciao), these too were very impressive and look almost as good as anything I could have...
