350As the boom in digital SLR cameras continues, the new Sony A350 debuts with a range of impressive features topped off by a 14-megapixel sensor.
Capturing the action is easy with the A350, which features an articulating 2.7-inch colour LCD screen with 2-way tilt adjustment for viewing and taking images. This comes into its own when you use the A350 in Live Mode, which enables you to preview a live image stream on the camera's LCD monitor.
Unlike many other DSLRs, the A350 Live View also has a unique auto-focusing mechanism that means Live View focusing is as fast as conventional focusing on a DSLR.
As well as its unique tilting screen, the A350 is packed with other features designed to help you get more out of your photography, such as image stabilisation built into the camera body rather than the lens. This enables you to shoot in darker conditions, where slower shutter speeds would normally produce blurred shots.
And, if you're worried about getting dust in your camera, Sony's special sensor mechanism is finished with a tin-indium coating that repels dust and dirt, and a vibrating mechanism that shakes off dust specks if they land on the sensor when you're changing lenses.
Inside the A350 is a Bionz image-processing chip, which can remove electronic noise from your digital images and apply Sony's D-Optimiser technology to deliver sharper, punchier photos with more shadow detail and highlights - even when the sun's shining brightly.
So, with its large 2.7-inch colour LCD screen, 3.5-frame-per-second shooting speed, Live View function, Bionz image processor and much more, the Sony Alpha 350 adds up to a welcome combination of brilliant performance and excellent value for money.
