We just got a new camera, because our old one broke. I wanted a digital SLR so we shopped around and bought a Sony a350. At just over $1000 its not too cheap but it’s a 14.2 mega pixel camera so the image quality is excellent. Just like all other DSLR cameras it comes loaded with features, like a tilting 2.7 inch LCD display for easy viewing no matter how high or low you hold the camera. There are different modes like portrait, landscape, sunset, night time, moving object, small object, automatic, and other manual ones. The camera comes with Super Steady Shot built in so theres no need to buy the expensive lenses with that feature. You can switch between the view finder, and the screen, both of them display all the necessary information to take expert photographs. The camera saves pictures on a Compact Flash card and uses a USB cable to transfer them to your computer. The camera comes with all the software you need to import pictures to your computer, but it isn’t necessary, because windows detects the camera automatically. All in all it’s a great camera, even tho it’s a bit expensive, but thats the price you pay for a professional camera.

I have bought the same camera, with twin lenses as part of A350 back in mid May this year.
I too have been using it since then, and I have got to say that the accuracy of its colours is pretty amazing compared to my old Sony CyberShot I bought many years ago.
I found one thing though is that it eats battery pretty fast if is on LiveView mode, but I normally just used it as a standard DSLR camera anyway, to save the battery usages when shooting outside so to speak.
Apparently from one of the article I have read online awhile ago, that A350 is still using CCD instead of CMOS, not a big deals I thought but it would be better if it used CMOS…
Overall, I am really glad that I did bought A350, some reviews said that A350 is about as good as other top brands, in terms of its qualities and accessibilities. But yea, am still feeling pretty happy with it in general.
