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: Price, Built-In Image stablization, quality, weather-proofing,
Disadvantages: Kit Lens is bad. Has a learning curve.

...had not heard much about Pentax Digital, but after hearing all the hype I decided to give it a try. Needless to say, I was not disappointed. At first I was a little overwhelmed with all of the buttons and options. I actually was about to send it back, but after reading the manual a few times and surfing the forums, I kinda figured things out. There are a lot of options to do one thing. So its really however you want to operate the camera. I think ...
...the price and the quality. It is a very sturdy and heavy. Something you get out of $1000+ cameras, but for $700. I was also pleased with the built -in image stabilization. I can shoot at much slower speeds without a tripod, maybe 2 f-stops. I rarely require a tripod unless it is night or studio. Overall I would highly recommend this camera to the amateur and professional alike. ... Read review

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. ... Read review
