Introduction

With prices starting to come down a little on the Sony A350, I decided to purchase a back-up body, this time with Sony's standard zoom kit lens. Most of this review is identical to my review of the Sony A350 body only, which is currently lost in the servers of the Epinions... Read full review »

Pros good for beginnersgood price for DSLR
Cons battery life in liveview

I have always envied those that could take amazing photographs; observing these people has led me to the same observation: they use DSLR cameras instead of the easier to use point-and-shoot varieties. I was always intimidated by these cameras so never thought that one was for me-- that was until I... Read full review »

Pros Everything!
Cons A little heavy and bulky. 
Recommended it? Yes

I just bought this camera for my hobby and I'm amazed by this. The quality is amazing and you have many features to make your photos even better. (Changing color, light settings, color balance, even a fun fish eye effect!) The screen is big enough to see details of your camera and the buttons are... Read full review »
