Strengths: The weight of this camera is very even when holding with the grip. Very easy to use. The Live View is GREAT!!!
Weaknesses: The noise level in low light, but the Canon Xsi has the same problem.
Summary: I was using a Canon PowerShot Pro 1 series camera. I had been thinking about the DSLR's and I am glad I waited for this camera to come around.

Even though I was taking great shots with the Canon, I needed a larger formated picture since I shoot alot in Macro. I do love the detail I achive with this camera when shooting nature, flowers etc.

I was looking at the Canon Xsi 12.1, but comparing the 2 I found the Canon to be nose heavy when holding with one hand and that counts for alot with me on some of my shots. I also think it's great to have the image stability built into the camera, that will save me hundreds of dollars since I don't have look for a lens that has it built into it.

Overall I very pleased with my purchase of the Sony A350, for a middle of the road DSLR you can't go wrong in my opinion

Strengths: tiltable 2.7 in live view screen anti shake feature
Weaknesses: Auto-focus can be a drain on the battery
Summary: One GREAT! and VERY nice camera. Took out of box and began shooting excellent photos right off the bat. I did have to read the instructions to see what a couple of the control were and how to get to a couple of things.

Excellent feel of the camera, Excellent location of control buttons.

Love the anti-shaking, and live view.

Strengths: very easy to use, accepts lenses from my minolta 35mm, sony software easy to use. lots of "high tech" for the price.
Weaknesses: pictures are not as crystal clear as i hoped they would be.
Summary: i have been using a minolta 35mm slr for years, and finally decided to upgrade to digital. i was very excited at the features available at this price. i bought it w/ the kit lens only because it was available at the same price as body-alone. i have read some poor reviews on the 18-70mm kit lens that comes with the camera. i hope to upgrade soon. i have not gotten any of my pictures developed yet, but the ones i have put up on screen are not razor sharp like i hoped they would be. i don't know if that is from my lack of time with the camera, or possibly the lens? i did expect 14+ megapixel images to be sharper than they have been so far. overall, happy with the camera and would definitely buy again.
