Essential Info
If you wish to be on the cutting edge of digital photography, the Sony a (alpha) DSLR-A350 camera sets the standard for excellence. At 14.2 MP, this camera was rated at having the highest picture resolution in its class (as of January 2008), offering extremely detailed images, rich tones and vibrant colors. The 2.7" LCD screen lets you preview the picture area and even tilts up and down so you can adjust the view if you are taking low-level or overhead shots. Additionally, you can take multiple shots (up to 2 frames per second) without needing to wait for the picture to appear on the LCD screen. The live view mode is a feature that really sets this camera apart form others. In live view mode, Sony's LCD displays the actual camera settings, so there is no guesswork in what your actual shot and subject will look like. The electronic zoom feature lets you capture images at a 1:1 ratio a in 1.4x or 2x zoom without any picture degradation. There are several other features that make this camera a top-notch selection, including the Bionz™ processor, high sensitivity ISO, D-Range optimizer, 9-pointe center cross AF and Super SteadyShot. These offer reduced noise, low light shooting without a flash, auto adjusting brightness and contrast, fast and accurate focusing, and shot stabilization. The high-capacity battery allows for up to 730 shots between charges and the LCD even displays the percent of remaining power. The function button pulls up options on the LCD screen of most commonly changed features, giving you direct access to control the Creative Style settings, which help fine-tune the camera's performance. The power of the Sony a (alpha) DSLR-350K helps the beginner and novice photographer to produce remarkably clear and astounding photos, just like a professional.

14.2 MP Super HAD CCD
The highest pixel resolution in its class (as of January 2008), for spectacular image detail for making big prints and tight crops. An advanced APS-size CCD imager developed by Sony expands dynamic range and minimizes noise more effectively for clear, sharp photos even at high sensitivity setting (up to ISO 3200).
Live Preview of Your Subject
The DSLR-A350’s Live Preview mode links you and your subject on a large 2.7" LCD screen, for a familiar point-and-shoot style, with super-quick AF response and accurate exposure control to help you catch the perfect moment. In Live Preview mode, the camera bypasses the optical pentaprism mirror to create a live "eye-to-eye" view on the LCD of loved ones, children, pets and fast-changing scenes.
Tiltable 2.7" Clear Photo LCD Plus Screen
A large built-in screen with 2-way angle tilt provides a sharp, clear view of your subject and tilts up or down for low-angle or high-angle monitoring in situations where you want a child-level or overhead shot.
Continuous Shooting While Viewing
The DSLR-A350 lets you shoot continuously at up to 2 frames per second while you see your subject in the large 2.7" LCD viewfinder, so you never lose track of the action. In JPEG mode, you can shoot up to the limit of your flash memory card; in RAW Burst Mode you can capture up to 4 shots, with intelligent buffer management to allow more shots to be captured without waiting for the buffer to clear.
Smart Teleconverter 2X Zoom
At the touch of a button you can zoom in electronically on your 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.
Expanded ISO Sensitivity
A broad sensitivity range from ISO 100 to ISO 3200 enables the DSLR-A350 to capture beautiful color images even in very dim light, with High ISO Noise Reduction technology that reduces picture noise artifacts at high-sensitivity ISO 1600 and ISO 3200 settings by eliminating noise from RAW data after analog-to-digital conversion.
Super SteadyShot In-Camera Image Stabilization
Because image stabilization is built into the DSLR-A350, every lens benefits by an advantage of from 2.5 to 3.5 exposure steps. This allows you to shoot effectively with minimum blur even in low light without flash, or adjust exposure control for smaller lens aperture to increase depth of field and bring both foreground and background into sharp focus.
Bionz Image Processor
The brain of the a (alpha) DSLR-A350 is the advanced Sony Bionz Image Processor, using hardware-based Large Scale Integrated (LSI) circuitry to enhance images with rich tonal reproduction, improved white balance and exposure control, and expanded D-Range Optimizer capabilities. With 2-channel data transfer from CCD to processor, your camera can also respond faster.
1200-zone Evaluative Metering
Information from the image sensor dedicated to Live View is divided into 1200 zones of luminance and RGB color information. In addition D-Range Optimizer technology contributes to judge the scene and then determine the optimum exposure to reproduce images with a more natural look.
Dynamic Range Optimizer
To improve results with backlit subjects and recover details hidden in shadows or lost in glare, the DSLR-A350 provides Dynamic Range Optimizer at two levels: Normal DRO, to improve detail using standard gamma curves for fast shot-to-shot response time, or Advanced DRO, to adjust dynamic range area-by-area for the greatest precision.
Anti-Dust Technology
Changing lenses in a DSLR can allow dust to enter the camera. To keep the CCD imager cleaner for better pictures, the DSLR-A350 utilizes both static-free anti-dust coating on the CCD filter and anti-dust vibration that automatically shakes the CCD to dislodge dust each time the camera is shut off.
Auto Pop-Up Flash
The camera flash automatically pops up and fires when needed, to help first-time DSLR photographers shoot more effectively. Auto Pop-up works in Auto mode and some scene selection modes; Flash is cancelled in Landscape, Sport or Sunset modes and in "Flash Off" position on the Exposure Mode dial.
Eye-Start Autofocus System
It begins precision autofocus adjustments the moment you raise the camera to your eye. So unlike some DSLR cameras that don’t start focusing until the shutter button is half-pressed, the Sony DSLR-A350 never slows down your ability to catch fast action.
9-Point Center Cross AF Sensor
A fast focus motor and improved focus control help bring images into sharp definition more quickly, with predictive focus control that automatically calculates the position of a fast-moving subject.
Scene Selection Modes
Along with auto exposure, the DSLR-A350 gives you scene selection modes to optimize camera performance for Portrait, Landscape, Macro, Sports, Sunset and Night Portrait/Night View situations.
Creative Style Settings
To express your creativity and personal taste, you can adjust contrast, saturation and sharpness settings for any of 8 finishing styles, including Standard, Vivid, Portrait, Landscape, Night View, Sunset, B & W and Adobe RGB modes.
Index and Slide Show Display
To quickly review your photos, the DSLR-A350 can display 4, 9 or 25-frame index views or present automatic slide shows with fade-in/fade-out effect.
High-Resolution Thumbnails for PhotoTV HD Viewing4
The DSLR-A350 automatically creates high-resolution thumbnail images for viewing on Sony’s BRAVIA® HDTV in optimized PhotoTV HD mode, with image format adjustable for standard 3:2 or widescreen 16:9 display.
Function Guide Display
On-screen menus are intuitive and easy to use, and a simple Camera Function Display can be activated and operated with one hand using the "Fn" (Function) button and controller button to adjust Flash mode, Autofocus mode, White Balance, Metering mode, AF area and D-Range Optimizer.
Stamina® Battery Power
In optical viewfinder mode, you can take up to 730 shots on a fully charged NP-FM500H InfoLITHIUM® battery. Additionally you’ll be able to see about how much power remains in percentage increments, so you can keep shooting in confidence.
High-Capacity Media Options
For conveniently storing and sharing your images, the a (alpha) DSLR-A300 accepts Compact Flash Type I/II media and Memory Stick PRO Duo media via an optional adapter.
Advanced Lenses and Accessories
Sony’s a (alpha) system gives you everything you need to expand your creativity in DSLR photography: precision Sony DT zoom lenses and specialty lenses, Sony "G" Series lenses with advanced motorized autofocusing, amazingly bright Carl Zeiss® lens designs, professional-quality flash units, and over 16 million Minolta a-mount lenses sold worldwide.
