I had high hopes for this feature and, based on my short hands-on time, I can say that Sony delivered on those hopes. Sony has truly revolutionized the use of Live View with the fast and accurate phase difference autofocus.

A few of the high contrast scenes had some highlights blown out or overly dark areas in the shade however, I was pretty satisfied with what I got out of in-camera JPEGs from the Sony A350. If you are in the market for a DSLR, then I can highly recommend the Sony A350.Īll in all, the white foam tricked the camera’s meter, which resulted in underexposed images for the most part. The fast focusing Live View and tilting LCD panel, however, sets the A350 apart from the pack. The intuitive controls and menus make the camera a strong competitor to other entry-level cameras. The Sony A350 is available through Amazon via the following product page links:

The A350 will be available in April for $900 in a kit or an $800 body-only package. The A350 sensitivity goes up to ISO 3200 and features a burst mode of 2.5fps. The 14.2 megapixel A350 features a flip-out 2.7-inch screen and live preview that retains the ability to autofocus.
