February 8, 2008 Sony announced the Alpha 350 to its digital SLR family. The camera is 14.2-megapixels and has new technology called Super SteadyShot image stabilization. Noteworthy because this camera has a live view via a 2.7 inch led screen that pulls out and tilts up and down. Users will most likely be holding the camera away from their body using the screen to compose their shots allowing the SteadyShot image stabilization to come in handy.
“Sony claims that improved control algorithms in the A350’s body-integrated Super SteadyShot system allows users to shoot at shutter speeds of 2.5 to 3.5 steps slower, giving the user more leeway before resorting to a tripod or flash”.
If you want to check out all the specs go here. I was thinking about getting one of these and replacing my Canon Rebel but I think I’ll wait and see how this innovative camera stacks up to the industry standards.
