Excellent Choice

Pros: Great value and image quality

Cons: Only 2.5 FPS

I recently purchased my a350, have been totally satisfied with the camera and the image quality.

Wonderful Camera!

Pros: 14.2 MP at a very reasonable cost! Live view preview, continuous shooting, and so much more.

Cons: none

This camera is so much fun! The clarity of my photos are superb! It has so many functions, I'm still learning new things it can do. It shoots in very low light conditions with excellent results. And it is priced very resonable. I opted to purchase just the body and match it with Zeiss lens offered here at Sony.com, and I'm very pleased with the results.

Excellent camera

Pros: almost everything

Cons: higher iso are grainy

This is my first DSLR. I have compared my photos to others using more expensive cameras and mine are just as good if not better quality. The lenses are expensive, but you get what you pay for. I had a 75-300 lens and upgraded to the g series 70-300 and it is night and day.

thumbs down for alpha 350

Pros: good picture quality in iso 100

Cons: bad product quality, picture quality goes down with higher iso

I purchased recently alpha 350 from amazone.uk. The camera would not refocus once object moves every time. Checked all parameters and found the focusing issue due to camera malfunctioning.. soon I got a replacement of another alpha 350 camera from Amazon. Within just few days of use of replacement alpha 350, the LCD monitor screen turned totally white and I could not use lcd monitor, while all other functions are working ok. (focusing issue did not repeat in this model) This has increased my frustrations.. I want to know if I should get one more replacement of Alpha 350 only or should I move away from this model and get higher model as replacement, ofcourse by paying differential cost.. say alpha 700. I feel alpha 350 is a bad product, giving a poor quality and over all bad performance.

Great Buy

Pros: Most everything

Cons: Instruction manual a bit overwhelming

I received this camera from my husband for Christmas. This is not a camera for the complete novice and I'm pretty close to that. However, with some practice and reading of the manual, you can begin taking excellent pictures quickly. The features are fairly clear to understand and having the ability to add different lenses really increases it capabilities. My only wish is that there was an attachment so that I could increase the increments on my 70-300 mm lens! Or that I could use the auto lens zoom while using the eye piece. I am not a big fan of the LCD screen but prefer the eye view instead.

Dependable

Pros: Decent AF, Live View

Cons: Pricey Lenses and lens selection

There are things I absolutely love about this camera. Decent AF with a decent speed, Live View with tiltable screen, Fine JPG and Raw capabilities, and even the WB. What I find frustrating is that sony doesn't supply a large enough assortment of lenses at decent cost, therefore you are stuck hunting through Minolta lenses (if you are looking second hand), unless you are prepared to shell out big bucks for names like Zeiss and G, nor are you able to find a simple list of off brand lenses that are compatible. There are advantages to having the Alpha series compatible with Minolta, however, if you are purchasing second hand lenses you will want to bring your camera to ensure that all features are functional. Overall picture quality is great, it's a perfect starter camera. Have had zero issues

The best DSLR camera

An excellent D SLR camera of the digital photography family. The camera is so superior in quality and feature wise that you can feel the difference when you keep your hand on first time. The camera is so easy to operate and all buttons and functions are very user friendly like other SONY product. Super Steady Shot, 14.2-megapixel resolution and Live View shooting make this camera the leader of DSLR industry. You do not have to be professional or need attend special photography class in terms of shooting great photos; this camera will handle everything for you. Accessory wise, The ?G? series lens and the Carl ZeissŪ lens are pricy but they are worth with result, I would recommend most.

great camera

Pros: fast processor, excellent on board features

Cons: autofocus a little slow, unbalanced with zoom lenses

The A350 is an excellent camera to work with. I has a good range of ISO and the processor is very fast in making images. The camera is a little hard to hold when you have a heavy lens attached to it. The images it creates in both RAW and JPG are excellent.
