Sony A350 DSLR and 70-300G SSM Lens Win EISA Awards
The European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA) has published their 2008-2009 Award Winners. We're happy to say that both the Sony A350 DSLR, and the 70-300G SSM Lens(thank you Andrew!) have been presented awards in the Photo category. For the A350, there was particular note given to Sony's Live View implementation.
From the A350 Award:
While the Sony α350 offers handy functions like image stabilisation and an anti dust system, its most impressive feature is the superbly designed Live View system. Thanks to a unique design, the camera can perform fast autofocusing in Live View mode using the camera’s primary AF system. This avoids the problems of secondary AF systems, and delays while the mirror flips out of the way.
For the 70-300G, among other things, they note:
Optically, you can expect beautifully detailed pictures with an impressively even resolution across the image frame. Any limitations of the relatively small maximum aperture are more than balanced out by the reduced high ISO noise that is characteristic of Sony’s α cameras.

Great to see the A350 being recognised.
Hi Eric,
It's good to see the A350 being recognised for the great camera it is! I think that combined with a good lens (such as the CZ16-80) it makes a great landscapers camera.
The Sony 70-300G SSM also got an award for best 'European' lens. See here for further details: http://www.eisa.eu/eisa/awards/2008-2009 (you need to scroll down the page to see it).
