Sony DSLR-A350 Specs
Posted by Suhit Gupta in "Digital Home News" @ 01:00 AM
"Besides the higher 14.2 Megapixel resolution, the Sony A350 is similar to its sibling the A300. The higher resolution has the side effect of slowing down the burst shooting slightly, going from 3fps down to 2.5fps. That’s the price to pay for the extra details in these photos. Check out our complete Sony A350 photo gallery. 14.2 Megapixel sensor, Image Stabilization, 18-70 f3.5-4.5 kit lens, 2.5 fps burst shooting, Compact Flash, 2-way tilt LCD display (2.7”)"
The A350 will be available in March 2008 for $799 (body only) or $899 with the lens kit. I love the photo gallery of the A350. Interesting that the cost of the A300 and A350 are about the same where the only difference is that the A350 offers higher megapixels for a slight reduction in speed. I would personally go for the faster camera because I am not entirely sure one needs 14MP over 10MP. In fact, I wonder why Sony released two cameras that are so similar. I would have much rather seen them release two cameras targeting altogether different user groups then potentially causing user confusion.
