Dropped my new a350

Are you 100% sure it didn't make any noises at all before you dropped it? Did you shake it around and listen for noises when you first bought it (most people wouldn't notice it unless they were listening for a tiny rattle)?

What you're describing ("something tiny banging around"; "a faint rattle") sounds just like the flash rattling...

Pop the flash up and see if you can still hear it. If that makes the sound go away I wouldn't worry about it anymore - it's normal. If that doesn't do anything you might have a problem.

Does everything still work?

Most likely sony will see the scuff marks and see that you have dropped it, hope you got the accidental coverage when you bought your camera!

Hope its not too bad

haha, i packaged it up today, the shutter started to lag during a shoot in class and that was the final straw for it. and i shoot HDR now a days, so my camera is always on my tripod

went out and bought another one after i packed it up, maybe ill convert this one to infrared when my broken one comes back

well.... expect to buy a lot more A350's if you keep planning to walk around with your body on your tripod.....
