What Should I do with my Sony Alpha 350?

[xavyerk]

This was my favorite camera and the one that got me into business. I know they discontinued this model, I bought a canon and I feel bad for my Sony just sitting there.

They say the 3rd time is the charm. Sell the Sony, sell the Canon, buy a Nikon and live happily ever after.

Break out the Sony and start taking great looking photos again. Or if you drink the red or yellow kool aid, I will love to take it off your hands. Mine could use a friend in the field.

I could use an upgrade. You want to let it go you let me know. Seriously, let me know.

If you do weddings, you can set it as your photo booth camera.

Good idea.

Trade the Sony A350 and your Canon in on the Sony A77, which will be better than both your current cameras.

Not if you want to do studio work

^^ That just doesn't make any sense.

Anyway. I'm saving up for the NEX-7 personally. I'll prob just toss my A350, never much cared for it - though I am glad I got it, otherwise I'd prob never have "gone digital".

Since you're pro, I'd highly suggest you just hold on to your A350 as a backup. Eventually your canon might need to be serviced or cleaned, and you won't want to have to tell your customers that you can't make the shoot because you don't have a camera.

I also agree that this makes no sense.

There is a big problem with the A55 and shooting in a studio and i'm not sure if they have sorted the A77

I read about the bug - and yeah, that does make sense now. Sorry for being so snarky, been an annoying day.

Though, you could use the popup flash to preview the scene, or even tape a piece of IR filter and use as an optical slave...

But you could buy a camera that works A900/A850

LOL. Yeah. I was kind of thinking that after I posted.

Overall, I don't really get this SLT thing. They're prob. great for video with the fast, continuos AF, but it seems like you'll loose a LOT of light through that pellicle mirror.

Convert it for IR shooting.
