Sony Introduces Two New DSLR 'Quick Auto-Focus Live' Cameras

by Ian Rowan on January 31, 2008 at 05:29 PM

For the growing market of point-and-click users moving up to the digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) cameras comes Sony's 10.2 megapixel α (alpha) 300 and 14.2 megapixel α 350 DSLRs. Aimed at an easy transition for first-time DSLR users, these two cameras come with "Quick AF Live View" technology that allows users to frame photos easily in the LCD without sacrificing auto-focusing times common to other DSLRs, which rely on the optical viewfinder.

The cameras also feature at 2.7-inch "Clear Photo" LCD screen with variable angling abilities so that users can easily take shots from high or low positions and still frame the scene perfectly. Another boon to first-time DSLR users is the 'Super SteadyShot' image stabilization, which enables very slow shutter speeds in low light to make sure you get the brightest and clearest shot possible with or without the flash.

The DSLR-A300 body will be available in April for $800 and the DSLR-A350 body will be available in March for $900. Both will be available in retail stores and online at SonyStyle.com.
