Steve Digicams put the Sony Alpha A350 under the spotlight and the camera passed with flying colors. Calling it an “outstanding” camera, the Alpha A350 offers great value for money.The DSLR is feature rich and also produced great image quality. It handled portraits extremely well and performed well even in low light conditions.

“Bottom line - Sony's "top of the line" entry-level Alpha 350 or DSLR-A350 is an outstanding camera. In this saturated market, consumers really have a lot of great cameras to choose from, all at competitive pricing. At about US$899 or less as tested, I feel the A350 offers a great value for such a well-balanced camera. The Live View performance offered by the A350 is way ahead of its competitors.”

Trusted Reviews on Sony Alpha A350

The Sony Alpha A350 DSLR was tested out by the folks over at Trusted Reviews and the camera managed to impress. Calling it a “superb camera”, the reviewer in particular liked it for its live view feature and the 14.2-megapixel sensor.

Image and build quality didn’t disappoint either, and 100 and 200 ISO settings produced some great images. Image noise at higher ISOs was the only disappointment according to the reviewer.

Excerpt from the review:
“The Sony Alpha A350 is a superb camera, but anyone who was expecting a full professional DSLR like the A700 will be disappointed. Instead you get an A200 with the addition of live view and a massive 14.2-megapixel sensor. The live view system with fully-functioning AF and tilting monitor is much better than all its competitors…”

PopPhoto Reviews Sony Alpha 350

The Sony Alpha 350 was put on the spot by the folks over at Popular Photography and thinks its ideal for Prosumers. The camera may not be targeted at the professional photographer however the 350 does include a number of advance features. Image quality was found to be excellent from ISO 100 to 800 but according to the Pop Photo Lab tests, the 350 delivered less detail (average 2150 lines of resolution at ISO 100-800) than the 12.2MP Sony A700 (2280 lines). That is indeed food for thought.

“The A350 is aimed at those moving up from a compact or for those who want (and can afford) more from an entry-level DSLR than Sony is offering in its new A300 ($600, estimated street, with 18-70mm f/3.5-5.6 lens), Nikon in its new D60 ($630, street, body only), or Olympus in its new E-420 ($500, estimated street, body only). For such photographers, the A350's increased image quality and overall performance will be amazing, and the extra features -- especially live view -- will be reassuringly familiar.”

The Sony Alpha DSLR-A350 is a winner according to the review posted at Camera Labs. The DSLR is not only packed with features but also doesn’t disappoint when it comes to performance. In general use the A350 handles very well and even the auto-focusing performance is top-notch. The 14 megapixel resolution is impressive even though the continues shooting mode is disappointing.

Camera Labs concludes:
“Despite a few issues which will annoy technical photographers, the Alpha A350 is an excellent DSLR with great features and arguably one of the best Live View implementations to date. Given all it offers for the asking price we can easily award it our Highly Recommended rating. Other manufacturers watch out – Sony means business in the DSLR market.”

Photo Review has done a nice little review of the Sony's A350 DSLR who they feel is a great upgrade for point and shooters and the more serious photographer. The camera is a step up from the A200 model in both features and performance however one can avoid the kits lens.

The Sony A350 supports live view shooting and has a solid grip making it extremely comfortable to shoot with. The camera supports two aspect ratios for image recording; the standard 3:2 and an additional 16:9 format. On running the Imatest, the website came to the conclusion that the camera can handle very high resolution with only minimal variation in line widths/pixel height figures throughout the ISO range

The reviewer concludes:
“Sony's A350 DSLR has something to offer to both digicam upgraders who are looking to buy a more sophisticated camera and photo enthusiasts who want a high-resolution camera with all the latest shooting controls.”
