Advantages: Unique Mechanism, Auto Focus Improvements Disadvantages: Still Expensive
Sony with the high brand level launch alpha DSLR-A350 with a unique mechanism that no one has yet tried, drawing an image from inside the optical viewfinder with a special tilting mirror. Like the A200 Sony make improvements to alpha-A350 AF have made focus acquisition 1.7 times faster, thanks to the high-torque AF motor and improved AF sequence borrowed from the A700. Autofocus in Live View is also as fast as it is in optical viewfinder mode, a ... ...With that description above make Sony A350 as a semi-pro camera. Not a bad thing, because it shows that the housing and appearance of the camera give you a good feeling, certainly with the Carl Zeiss lens mounted on the camera but If you need the resolution bump at a low price, the Rebel XSi is probably a better choice than the Sony Alpha DSLR-A350. ...

Advantages: Comes with an arm strap and a carring case Disadvantages: Almost everything
...overall bad. Since it's a sony you would think that it would be a good kind of camera but honestly when I bought it, i immediatley wanted my money back! It was very easy to use and the design looked nice but everything else just kinda seemed a big waste. When you first buy the Sony DSLR-A700 you get a arm strap and a bag that can come in different styles. I would not recommend this camera to anyone unless you want bad quality and very easy to break ...

Advantages: very good camera Disadvantages: Slow continuous shooting, awkward menus
The 14.2-megapixel A350 fits somewhere between the beefy a700 and the a200, positioning itself to directly compete with other entry-level priced DSLRs like Canon's EOS Rebel XSi. Design-wise, the main attraction of the a350 is the 2.7-inch live view LCD, the soon-to-be ubiquitous technology that enables real-time image adjustment pre-capture, allowing the user to see how the changes they're making to the camera's settings will directly affect the ... ...switching to live view mode. We're also seeing the vertically tilting LCD more and more; we're told it's better for low angle shooting, but we still think a 180-degree rotating LCD provides more flexibility than one that only tilts up and down. The continuous shooting speed of 2.5fps (which drops to approximately 2 fps in live view mode) could be considered subpar, and we're not fans of Sony's menu systems in general, as they tend to be convoluted, ...

Advantages: Great pictures, Disadvantages: Big and difficult to carry when busy
This is a great camera for taking pictures. I love the flexibility I have with this camera, and that it takes the pictures so quickly that I can't tell the difference between this and a regular SLR. I love it... I have 5 children and use it all the time. I bought this camera wanting to use it with the extra lenses and even with the regular lens have been extremely happy with the pictures I have taken. This is a camera I would recommend to anyone ... ...normal use or for a more professional looking picture. The only downfall with this camera is the size and it is not a camera you can easily carry when you are busy, but for planned events it is a great investment.
I have used this camera to take pictures of my children and even though I am not experienced I have been happy with the results. However if you are looking for a camera to carry with you, you may want to check into something smaller. ...

Advantages: High quality pictures, easy to operate, lighter weight. Disadvantages: Price is quite high.
...been through the ranges of Canon products, my eyes stopped by the Canon EOS 5D model. My hobby is photography and in this relation I took up photo reporting as one of my many sideline jobs. As I have interest in clicking photographs, obviously I would have some interests in quality lenses and products with advanced technology too. In todays world of digital SLR cameras, like the Nikon D50 for the family fun, Canon EOS 5D is one equipped with advanced ... ...body weighing around 810grams. The Canon EOS 5D uses superlative EF lenses without a conversion factor. The exclusive DIGIC II imaging engine is what the reason for high quality images which can create envy among photo lovers. The high speed, high quality DIGIC II imaging engine is used to process data from the CMOS sensor at a very high speed giving the photographs that exceptional look. The DIGIC II image processor is a new technoloty used in Canon ...
