Sony DSLRA350K Camera (14.2 MP) inc 18-70mm lens his model pushes the envelope, setting a new standard of excellence for step-up digital photographers shooting both family memories and fine-art photos. Live Preview in a large 2.7″ LCD screen links you and your subject-and you’ll have special features like super-quick AF response, continuous shooting at 3 fps while you see your subject in the viewfinder, Creative Style modes for quick recall of custom settings, and in-camera Super SteadyShot image stabilization that reduces blur for every Sony, Carl Zeiss® and legacy Minolta a-mount lens.
The DSLR-A350 is equipped with the class leading resolution of an exclusive Sony-developed APS-C type CCD image sensor with 14.2 effective megapixels. The sensor boasts approximately 15 times the surface area of the sensors employed in most compact digital cameras, and combines the triple advantages of high resolution, high sensitivity, and a rich tonal range. That is enough power to capture details as fine as a single eyelash, and skin tones that glow with natural, true-to-life colour.
Helpful consumer’s review
Having spent weeks reading reviews in every photography magazine I could put my hands on, I finally took the plunge and bought this kit with a couple of extra lenses and external flash. The tilting liveview LCD is the best on the market and an absolute boon for my requirements. In auto mode the results are stunning enough and then you have so many professional options available to get even better.
The menu system is really excellent and very logical. Most things are where you’d expect to find them. My only real hesitation before buying a Sony Alpha was the limited selection of lenses but not only are there enough Sony and Minolta lenses to choose from, their quality is superb. The G-series and the Carl Zeiss units are as good as anything on the market. A great bonus of the A350 is that the anti-shake system is in the camera so it doesn’t need special lenses to deal with it like some other makes do. All-in-all this camera is fabulous value for money and such a joy to use. For me it was worth the agonising process of evaluating all of the compettion to arrive at this winner.
Oh yes, nearly forgot – for Prime customers not paying delivery charges, Amazon’s price is as good as it gets.
