Sony Alpha DSLR-A350 (Body Only) Reviews: Alpha Digital SLR Camera

+ as an old minolta user I had a good stock of lenses ect, the live view at any angle is very good and shows any compensation you make, The quality of imags raw or jpeg are are better than a cannon I used earlyer this year to try out and I am glad I waited.

- the only thing I miss from my minolta 7D is the depth of field button and the AE lock button but you soon get round this.

+ The live view is extremely useful, especially when taking low level shots. I also like the percentage battery indicator and the eye start focusing.

- None.

+ Excellent features and performance

- A little bit plasticky

+ ease of use ease of selection of features

- not exacactly bad just abit small in my big hands

+ compact,easy to use, attractive

- none

+ Advantage of RAW. Quick.

- Sometimes the lens does not lock in firmly and message 'no lens' occurs

+ High pixel; build ;easy to use

- focus slow ..sometimes image too soft..

+ Picture quality and value for money

- Weight. Menu is not so great for beginners

+ good size fits well in the hand,lenses easy to change,most features easy to understand and use

- accessesories very expensive ie spare battery,verticle grip etc

+ Produces very good images and is quite straight forward to use, got this at slightly reduced price they were upgrading the range.

- The decent lenses are quite expensive and seems to be less choice than Canon or Nikon.

+ I can have the camera up and running quickly, so i don't miss any good shots even before i got used to it, I also suffer with tremors a medical condition that is exagerated by extremes ie cold, heat , stress and concentration, sometimes i shake very badly when using a camera, after seeing the perfect picture results i actualy cried, it's feels wonderfull to use a camera again.

- sometimes the flash pops up when not neccesary , creating too much expossure.

+ Very easy to use in auto mode, but well worthwhile investing in a book to help with some of the features in manual mode. RAW image is great allowing you to do so much more once the images are transferred to a computer.

- Does not come with a flashcard.

+ does what sony says it does

- accesories very expensive

+ good quality of image

- The electronic zoom (1.4x , 2x ) works only in "live view" mode, the autofocus has (sometimes) a strange behaviour

+ Small, cheap, terrific quality for amateur camera.

- Very slow preview (a100 has much more fast). Primitive and inconvenient live-view. It also has different USB as in a-100.
