camera is compatible with the old Minolta lenses - which are cheaper and often better that the Sony ones (for more advanced photos). The manual settings are easy to use, however are a little rigid, and I find do not give you the same flexibility as some of the more expensive digital SLRs or manual ones (Cannon ones are very good for this), however for the price of the Sony, the settings are reasonable.
Down to the most important point - image quality. I cannot really find fault with this at all, and this is comparable to some of the much more expensive Canon and Pentax SLRs! The lens provided with this camera is not the best for very close up and macro photography, however it tends to perform very well for any other shots - and there is always the option to change to a better lens for these purposes.
Overall - excellent camera ...
Advantages: Live View, Tiltable LCD Screen, 14.2 megapixel Disadvantages: No Sony Memory Stick slot
The SonyAlpha 350 digital SLR camera is a fantastic addition to the SonyAlpha range.
The introduction of a LIve View system and tiltable LCD screen make it a really good camera for enthusiasts that are making the leap from digital compact or bridge cameras.
Before buying the Alpha 350 I used a Sony DSC F-717 and found shooting with the 350s automatic mode to be a doddle but it has plenty of features to keep the more experienced photographer happy.
I find all of the buttons to be in pleasing positions and have no trouble handling the camera for both landscape (horizontal) and portrait (vertical) aspect pictures.
The standard 25-70 mm lens kit that comes with most offers is a good performer although I find the autofocus does struggle very occasionally when shooting macro pictures.
It is a good performer in low light ...
Advantages: Picture Quality, Live view, Tilting Screen, Fast AF, ISO range Disadvantages: Small viewfinder, Slow processing, Availabilty of lenses
I have had my Sonya350 DSLR for just over 4 months now, opting for it over it's main rival, the canon 450d, and i don't regret my decision. The images it captures are fantastic, working well at low ISO settings. Image processing is a little bit on the slow side though when compared with the canon. The super steady shot also works well and as the battery life is the best on the market i have left it on since buying the camera. I would recommend buying a different lens to the supplied sony kit one though as the lens lets it down a bit. Another nice touch is the tilting viewfinder, which helps you capture those awkward low, or high, shots when in live view mode. The live view mode is the best avaiable on a dslr at the moment.
A recommended buy for any amatuer photographer. ...
