I know this thread is old but when I read some of the post hmm.isn't it all sony line have issue with noise above 800, one thread stating a700 can goes up to 6400, yep sure it could but when you crank it up pass 800 image become unuseable. Will it equal or better my Canon 5D with my 24-105/4L lens? Let's put the thing ON a tripod with a 1st rate lens (the equivalent of Canon's L series) and see what that 14MP can really do. Yes it's pointless to use a great sensor with a poor lens, but surely that's a pretty meaningless (and unfair) test. I would REALLY like to know what the 350 can do with one of Sony/Minolta's first ranked lens. Third, it's my understanding that the live view already locks the mirror up while you're live viewing, so I wonder if that is even a factor with the 350. And with the vibration assist feature you can really get quite good results even without a tripod (though having a tripod would of course be better).įor another, I'm sure it varies by camera, but I think most modern cameras are already mirror damped very well so that again it might be theoretically better with the mirror locked up, but I've gotten spectacular results with my Canon 5D without a tripod OR mirror lockup. For one thing, if you're going to buy a camera with a very high resolution, you are probably already using good lenses (rather than the respectable, but dated kit lens). Anything where the shutter is dipping reasonably low. You generally need this for any high quality enlargments landscape, macro, still life, portraits (formal). However, this becomes even less evident when you consider the fact that the A350 does not have MLU (mirror lock up). Hope everyone has helped a bit with your decision
Sony a350 comparison upgrade#
I wouldnt upgrade it for anything LESS than the A700. I feel it is still useful, maybe people just dont give the time for their eyes to adjust.? The A350 doesnt have one, but it is indirectly activated through the use of live-view on the rear screen. (5) The usefullness of DOF preview is debated in these smaller APS-C cameras.
(3) The A700 has a better contruction and ergnomics, its just going to feel better in yuor hands and be easier to use (for most/alot atleast), which again is VERY important for a camera. (2) The A700 is a cleaner sensor, lower noise. There is nothing worse than a dim VF at times - the A700 as a pentaprism, where as the A350 is just a penta-mirror. New technology? Well the live-view system is yes. OIympus E-3 In-Body Image Stabiliser No marketing.Haha fanboy from dpreview can t get enough of Oly!!.VBScript to delete a folder from user %APPDATA%.

A lot of fanboy always claim the bigger the sensor, the noise level and image quality will be better.
