Sue, Cwmbran “Sue, new to photography”
Score 9.0/10+ Really light & as a first timer to the dlsr market it is so easy to use. Straight out of the box & I was shooting some really good shots, even managing to catch a lovely firework shot with only 10mins reading the manual. If your looking for ease of use along with excellent features then I would recommend this one.
- None at all

Score 10.0/10+ The Live view mode is a superb addition to this DSLR. The fast startup and fast picture taking, even with Live view instead of the optical viewfinder is very useful indeed, no more missed shots. Using the sport mode, just keep your finger on the shutter to capture a series of action shots then throw away the ones you do not like. All the convenience of a compact camera with the speed and quality of a DSLR
- Slightly heavy and bulky but so are most DSLRs

Score 10.0/10+ Light for size, packed with features and produced excellent images in a wide variety of conditions in hot and cold weather. Sports mode and others are great and it could not be simpler to produce superb photos. The lens that came with it was of very good quality too. Battery life is a revelation. We could not recommend more highly...
- None at all!

Alison, Portgordon
Score 10.0/10+ Exceptional value for money camera deal. The camera can be simple to use where required but allowing precise manual adjustment where necessary. Results are superb.
- Package deal would have been better with a larger, faster storage card.

Paul , Stafford “Very Happy with A350”
Score 10.0/10+ Excellent Spec - Feels good to hold - Good features and takes crystal clear pics. RAW image output. Uses CF memory.
- Could have included memory - plastic camera body but at this price level to be expected.

Confirmed purchaser “First time D-SLR user”
Score 9.0/10+ Very easy for me, a first-time D-SLR user, to pick up and take reasonable-to-good photos with. Excellent picture quality. Very good value for money.
- Has a habit of refocusing on different areas when taking consecutive shots in Auto mode, but that's just an encouragement to learn how to use the camera properly! When taking pictures of moving items, again in Auto mode, tends not to focus on the area you want to focus on - but, again, that's just an incentive to learn how to use the camera properly. Non-standard flash shoe means that you can't use just any available flash or accessory.

Rick, SOUTHAMPTON “Keen amatuer Photographer”
Score 10.0/10+ An excellent 14.2 Megapixel DSLR. Intuitive to use and results in fantastic quality of pictures. Live view is superb. Metering is spot on in all circumstances. Wide variety of useful picture modes. Just feels right in your hands.
- Suplementary Sony and Carl Ziess lenses pricey! Look for Tamron and Sigma.
