A note on the basic state of the art: in this price range are probably all DSLR's encumbered with considerable defects that are not written well in the trade press and other reviews: for improvement processing, defects in the equipment (I miss eg the preview button of the. analog times) to small chips for extra Megapixel: noise, etc. Since there is still much to do.
Now for the better on the A350: the price-performance ratio. Housing to EUR 600, with 18-70mm lens Sony about EUR 50 more, plus the Sony cash back action from Sony with a refund of EUR 60th
For this you get a, for most people, including me, handy camera, with plenty of equipment in this price range (super-life-view - of course via button can be switched off and not, as with Canon as fumbling in the menu structure, super steady shot, fast autofocus, good sharpness, several Creative modes, Dynamic Range Optimizer, plus of course the usual scene modes and settings of fully automatic, to fully manual operation.
The menus are largely self-explanatory.
Separate ISO button is present, up to ISO 800, the noise actually bearable. For most situations this is sufficient. Of course, the Empfinmdlichkeit goes up to ISO 3200 with significantly reduced resolution. This feature allows me still lacking practical experience.
The swiveling up and down the display is very convenient. One should
When not in use can tilt inward to prevent scratches and damage.
Conclusion: for this price, despite some weaknesses, a clear buy.
Two basic alternatives should involve in the decision-making process: shell out a few hundred euros more and buy what More stable, or wait with an SLR nor one / two more years.
I myself could not wait and am very happy, but not fall into euphoria with the purchase.
