Hello again guys,
I recently came to the conclusion I was going to buy the Canon EOS 400D with my birthday money on Saturday the 5th. However, this evening, when I look on the Jessops homepage I see the Sony Alpha 350.
Being the first time I had seen the camera, the specs are impressive. I'm not too fussed about the live view, the tilting screen does make live view slightly more useful (crowd shots etc), the 14.2 MP sensor with a 1.5 crop factor is alot better than the Canon. And the biggest plus is the Super Steady Shot.
Before, the biggest problem was that Sony didn't have a large range of accessories, in particular lenses, both third-party and Sony produced. But now, looking at Warehouse Express there is now a wide range of lenses, and several Sony ones made using Carl Zeiss lenses that have received good reviews.
Is the Sony Alpha 350 a good buy, even though its alot more than the Canon EOS 400D? I was previously told I couldn't go wrong with a modern body, but I wanted to check it through before looking to buy.
Any help would be great. Thanks guys,
Zars
PS The Canon EOS 450D is a bit out of my price range, and it looks less equipped than the a350 anyway!
