I don't own a A700 or 200, but I do have a 350. On my camera, I can set contrast and saturation wherever I choose, with the max settings being far too much. I have absolutely no qualms with the sharpness or IQ. This is the first camera I have had that almost all my images require absolutely no post processing. I also own a D2x, D300, 40D, and S5 Pro. My studio camera is aSony R-1.

I have posted some comments on the Sony section of this forum.

The A350 will be my most used camera methinks.

Course, all to their own.
