Product Description
The DSLR-A350 is about extending yourself to the next level toward digital photography.

Step up to the DSLR-A350. Dynamic Range Optimizer at two levels - Normal DRO, to improve detail using standard gamma curves for fast shot-to-shot response time, or Advanced DRO, to adjust dynamic range area-by-area for the greatest precision Uses both static-free anti-dust coating on the CCD filter and anti-dust vibration that automatically shakes the CCD to dislodge dust each time the camera is shut off Popup Flash modes Eye-Start Autofocus System Multiple scene modes High-resolution thumbnail images for viewing on Sony's BRAVIA HDTV in optimized PhotoTV HD mode, with image format adjustable for standard 3 - 2 or widescreen 16 - 9 display Auto and manual exposure modes Accepts CompactFlash Type I/II media and optional Memory Stick(R) PRO Duo media Unit Dimensions (Approx.) - (WHD) 5 1/4 x 4 x 3; 1 lb 4.5oz Includes NP-FM500H rechargeable battery; BC-VM10 battery charger; Video and USB cables; Shoulder strap with eyepiece cap and Remote Commander(R) clip; Body cap; Software/USB Driver CD-ROM // NOTE - No Memory media inclu

5 out of 5 stars Alpha 350 is great   November 25, 2008
John W. Irwin (Hays County, TX)
I never have had a camera where the settings were so accessible and intuitive as the Aloha 350. Picture quality is excellent. The camera is lighter than expected, but seems plenty sturdy.

5 out of 5 stars Fun is back! F-828, H7, A100 Now the A-350 Comparison Review   October 17, 2008
Carl Kolchak (Mid Atlantic)
Sony has come a long way since the Mavica... I have had several digital cameras over the years. I had a Mavica FD-71 and then I stepped up to the F-828...I loved that camera as it was so easy to use and a lot of fun. Unfortunately I was duped into selling it to buy a Sony H7...boy what a mistake, the H7 was a real come down from the F-828. Well I got rid of the H7 and got an Alpha A-100...good picture quality but not a fun or easy camera to use.
Now to the A-350... From the moment I picked this camera up and took my first picture with it I knew I was holding something special, thoughts of that old F-828 came rushing back. Finally a camera that was easy to use again! Lets face it photography should be fun right? Well I think it should and the A-350 is just that. Granted there are a couple of things I would like to have seen different such as the grip below the shutter isn't as deep as the A-100...so it doesn't feel quiet right with my big hand gripping it and the other is I do wish Sony had put a better processor in it...not to say that is a bad processor but it could be better.
If the A-700 or A-900 had the live view and tilt screen well I may have just went hog wild and spent the extra for one of those models. But after hearing about the live view and tilt screen on the A-350..well...I knew it was as close to the F-828 as I was gonna get.
I also found the battery life to be a little disappointing. Now granted I haven't had the A-350 very long so only time will tell if and how my feelings may change but for now its like having an F-828 with the feature I always wished it had as in the ability to have a long zoom lens cause to be honest if the F-828 had the ability to zoom further then just 200mm I would never have sold it on amazon to someone in NY. After I use it more I will update this review and perhaps share some photos.

4 out of 5 stars great camera, but........   October 7, 2008

great camera. The one thing I wasn't expecting was that it takes so great pictures that it will make an inexpensive lens look cheap. These Kit lenses were fine for my smaller processor cameras and gave some very good pictures but this one simply shows any and all imperfections in my older, inexpensive lenses........tried one of the newer, more expensive lens, made for this model, and took great pictures.... guess I learned my lesson that if I'm going to use a great camera, don't try to shoot cheap... the pictures will tell the story... new lenses coming to my collection, soon.
