Wonderful camera, but the lens not so good. I'm looking for a new lens to replace the original one.
I found out this would not work. I bought this camera because I have a 1970 Minolta SRT 101 35mm camera with wide angle and telephoto lens. I understood that I could use my lens from Minolta with this Sony A350. I found that I like the camera and the lens I bought. I am still learning how to use it.
Camera works great and takes great pictures. I am an amateur, but I have been impressed with it's ease of use and the quality of pictures.
ps: My last SLR cost half as much and lasted over 20 years without a single failure. Sony wants me to pay $288 plus freight to repair a failure which is clearly a manufacturing or product design defect.
The camera itself performed admirabley until Christmas morning. I purchased this camera to provide photo documentation of projects I perfomed through my shop (antique restorations).
So after only 16 months of light duty and proper care it is completely useless. I have treated this camera with all do respect, it has never been dropped, thrown about or misused in any way.
The memory card interface has failed - the camera will not recognize the card (the card has been verified to be in good working order). I'm sorry but for what I paid for this camera I should not be experiencing this problem never mind having to pay to get it resolved.
I will NEVER buy another Sony product.
I have used this for almost two years and I has been all over the world. Takes great pictures and has held up will being in boats and rough terrian from Japan, Philippines and Dubai. great camera.
