...most jaded reviewer. The new Sony DSLR-A350 is one of them. I've watched for months as Sony tantalized the press with promises of a Live View for D-SLRs that actually works like the "live view" of point-and-shoot digicams where you pick the camera up, frame your shot through the LCD screen and snap the shutter.

The D40's success (which continued long after the D40X made its swift appearance only 6 months later) isn't hard to explain; ...
...of excellent results. It was also a camera that proved cameras do not sell on megapixels alone (even at launch its 6MP resolution was far from 'class leading'). As with the D40 and D40X, the new D60 doesn't have an built-in focus drive motor which means it can auto focus only with lenses which have their own drive motor (AF-S and AF-I lenses). The lack of a drive motor can be seen by the missing mechanical focus drive pin on the lens mount (see ... Read review
