Sony’s Alpha A350 DSLR gets reviewed

Filed under:

For some, tossing around phrases like “live preview” and “flip-out swivel screen” would be ample to sell Sony’s Alpha A350, but we know you’re more discerning than that, right? Right. Truth be told, Sony’s feature-packed Alpha only turned out okay — not great — during a review session with the folks by at CNET. Still, the unit did offer a sturdy feel, a fantastically useful LCD monitor and satisfactory color / dynamic range. Unfortunately, the additional $200 or so you pay for 14-megapixels (over 10MP on

the A300) wasn’t deemed worthwhile, as the additional processing “exacted a performance toll” in real-world use. The bottom line? These critics felt the Rebel XSi would be a better bet whether you’re just looking for a nice resolution bump, but for the huge majority of folks, you’re likely better off snagging the A300 and putting your leftover dough towards a decent piece of glass.
