Noise is most visible in the midtones, while the high-ISO noise reduction is fairly gentle, smoothing out only the coarsest chroma noise and retaining adequate sharpness. Build quality is in line with what we saw from the A200. Stylistically, the camera is angular and modern if a little plain to look at in short, it looks very much like a Sony. Tilting screens are more photography oriented while Fully articulated screens are. The Sony A350's 18-70mm (27-105mm equivalent) kit lens handled chromatic aberrations well during the review, with small levels of purple fringing mainly present around the edges of objects in high-contrast situations at the edges of the image, as shown in the example below. The A350 features a breakthrough Live View. The A350 looks much like the rest of Sony’s consumer-grade Alpha cameras, with a mid-size composite body. Sony A350 has a Tilting 2.70-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 230k dots. The lack of luminance noise is impressive. The Sony A350 is a 14.2 megapixel DSLR, which was introduced at PMA 2008.
ISO 400 is where detail begins to be compromised but even at the highest settings, it’s only an even-textured chroma noise that shows and one that can be easily removed in post-production. This was particularly noticeable in images with large areas of sky and clouds, where the camera consistently delivered detailed and noise-free shadow areas. The camera’s metering system generally proved itself reliable in a variety of conditions. Traces of vignetting and noise still remain, but colour and tonality are accurately handled and colours given a slight boost where necessary. Sharpness is good, but even without any processing certain Raw images showed a little more detail than their converted JPEG counterparts. Straight from the camera, the standard of JPEGs is satisfactory. Even when the camera may struggle, features such as the Dynamic Range Optimiser and adjusting parameters of white balance presets make tweaks easy to carry out. The standard of images from the A350 is generally very high.
