Sony DSLR-A350

The Sony DSLR-A350 is the DSLR Camera with two lenses. It shoots with the α (alpha) DSLR-A350 and the included DT-18-70 standard zoom and 55-200mm telephoto lenses. Its 14.2 MP detail offers clarity. Live Preview in a large 2.7" LCD screen links the photographer with the subject with special features like super-quick AF response, continuous shooting speed up to 2.5 fps with viewfinder and up to 2 fps in live view mode, Creative Style modes for quick recall of custom settings, and in-camera SteadyShot® image stabilization that reduces blur for every Sony, Carl Zeiss® and legacy Minolta a-mount lens.

Features

The DSLR-A350’s Live Preview mode links the photographer with the subject on a large 2.7” LCD screen, for a familiar point-and-shoot style. With quick AF response and accurate exposure control helps to catch the perfect moment. Its Tiltable 2.7” Clear Photo LCD Plus™ Screen offers sharp, clear view of the subject and tilts up or down for low or high angle monitoring in order to have child level or overhead shot. The DSLR-A350 lets the photographer to shoot continuously at up to 2 frames per second while delivering the subject through the 2.7" LCD viewfinder. At the touch of a button it zooms in electronically on the subject, reproducing pixels on a 1:1 basis with no degradation in picture quality. One touch zooms in at 1.4X, the second touch advances to 2X zoom creating the 35mm equivalent of a 200mm telephoto effect with the DSLR-A350’s standard 18-70mm zoom lens. ISO 100 to 1SO 3200 aids in capturing color images in dim light too. Image stabilization is achieved with SteadyShot®. The “brain” of the α (alpha) DSLR-A350 is the Sony Bionz™ Image Processor, using hardware-based Large Scale Integrated (LSI) circuitry to enhance images. CCD Filter and anti dust vibration dislodges dust and keeps it dust free. Auto Pop-up Flash is automatic. Its battery allows taking up to 730 shots and with power indicator to indicate the remaining power. It comes with DT zoom lenses and Sony “G” series lenses with Carl Zeiss® lens designs.
