I purchased this as a second camera body to complement my KM 7D. I took it on a two week European vacation and it was perfect. from Amazon.com This Alpha 350K, did function very well, it was very handy and convenient to use the tilting screen, the responses are just fine, and I got used to the slow response when using the tilting screen. from Amazon.com I replaced my Maxxum 5 with this Sony A350 body so I could keep all my minolta lenses. Very Impressed and I could not beat getting in the Digital game for under $500 not to mention a 14.2. from Amazon.com I am a semiprofessional photographer who, as a former Minolta user, has been trying to patiently wait on Sony to come out with a suitable pro model so as to continue to use lenses and accessories dedicated to my system. A year ago I bought this camera along with Sony's 18-250mm zoom lens, used it for some work, including a wedding. from Amazon.com The best thing about this camera is that it is super easy to use in the normal auto mode. It also has a lot of other special settings for custom shots for maximum creativity. from Amazon.com After a extensive research , I choose a350 + tamron 18-200 as my first DSLR solution . The DSLR is good , i used in my trip to grandcanyon , regret that i should buy it earlier. from Amazon.com I bought a 350 from sony and either one or both of the 50mm and 28 mm fixed focus lenses on Amazon. Very unreliable auto focusing with both lenses. from Amazon.com I've never once had to service Canon equipment that is over thirty years old; I am less confident in Sony because I've had other products (notably an HD camcorder) that failed and customer support and repair costs are outrageous. However, if this camera continues to perform as new it is a really good buy. from Amazon.com I bought this camera when circuit city was going out of business, and of course I pickup the camera kit which included 18-70mm lens plus additional zoom 75-300mm. Came home try out both lens and it actually come out pretty good, can't complaint much of quality for the price of these lens, beside the cheap Sony lens are usually made in china and more expensive one are made in japan of course, don't know if anyone realize that, this goes for all point & shot camera as well. from Amazon.com having enjoyed my vivitar point 'n shoot until it broke, I was searchng for a new camera. almost bought a Nikon, until I saw the A350, 14.2 megapixels WOW beats cameras costing more. from Amazon.com
