- Reviewed by: Lori Grunin
- Reviewed on: 04/08/2008
- Released on: 02/04/2008
The good: Sensor-shift image stabilization; useful Live View implementation with flip-up LCD.
The bad: Kit lens could be better; mixed performance; small viewfinder; interface annoyances.
The bottom line: Unless you're prepared to spend a disproportionate amount of money on a really good lens, the resolution bump offered by the Sony Alpha DSLR-A350 isn't worth the price.

It took a while to go back to an SLR, and I'm so glad I waited for this camera
by kallidad on May 13, 2008
Pros: 14.4 megapixels, live-view lcd framing, substantial/well-made feel, great price
Cons: proprietary flash connection

Summary: I absolutely love this camera. It took me a while to buy my first digital SLR. I've had Sony's in the past with my last one being the DSC-F828. I always end up back with Sony. One thing that made me hesitate on switching to a DSLR is that I've got quite used to framing my photos through the lcd screen and didn't feel comfortable abandoning that method and going back to using a viewfinder. The 350 gives me the freedom to use either, and the lcd tilts so I can mimic the 828's ability to rotate the body in overhead or low level photos. I'm used to Sony's vibrant colors and sharp image quality. So, this SLR does it all for me. I'm so happy I waited for Sony to release this camera. I absolutely love it.
