A350 Image samples:

Due to popular demand, we have now posted samples for lower ISO users, again from a pre-production camera from the counter at PMA. Remember, these aren't scientific, but I had a pretty steady hand :). 1/5th sec hand held shot look pretty sharp? All jpegs (again cannot process raw files without new software).

Ill leave you to do the feedback.

Sony A350 Sample Images, ISO 3200 and 1600 - 2/6 Note updated links, images moved to new location

Hey folks! Just finally getting some time to peek at a couple of the images I took at the Sony booth at PMA. These are hand held (of course) both jpegs (currently not able to view raw due to new software coming with the A350 supposedly). These are pre-production samples, and about as good as I could get while at the counter (I wanted lots of shadows). Lens was the Sony 18-250, and camera settings were A Priority, Auto White balance and 14mp res. (Good file sizes too! 4.5 megs and 6.7 megs respectively) Fine jpegs. Had to resize them for now, and shortly will post the full size images were resized in CS2 to 50% of original.

Introduction

- Experiencing PMA was a real treat although I can say that the majority of the time I spent was dedicated to the Sony booth, namely the Alpha DSLR counter. I went to the Tamron booth and to the Sigma and Lowe-Pro booths as well, but those visits were very brief in comparison, with Tamron coming second to Sony. In retrospect, I believe it was the best way to spend the day. I could have gone another day and gathered more information, but I wanted to get a report up here as soon as possible on the cameras, lenses, and philosophical direction of Sony.

As expected at today's PMA press conference, Sony has announced two brand new DSLRS, the Alpha A300 and A-350.

Sony aggressively enters 2008 with a new DSLR, and today it announces two more. The 14.2-megapixel Alpha A350 and 10.2 megapixel A300. These are also Sony's first entries in the Live View technology category, which promises to be the best way to resolve this technology to date on any DSLR brand.

Been waiting for this for a while, have us? And as many can now see, Sony is really on the move. While Sony still has more to introduce this year, it looks like they are scoring a shutout so far. It isn't over yet folks.
