I bought an A350 a month ago. I've used it on 2 somewhat extensive shoots, shooting around 500 shots (most of them this Labor Day weekend). The viewfinder...
I would return the A350 as defective or inadequate and upgrade to something like the A700 and quit playing games with your images. You should be impressed...
You can verify this, like shooting shooting directly a wall (90 degrees) from a tripod (or table top... :-), put pieces of masking tape so that they are just...
Don, A350 and A700 both have 95% coverage in the viewfinder. No difference on that part. Having a defective unit as new is IMHO not a reason to change models,...
The A350 has a 95% optical finder view, but the Live View camera installed in the prism has only a 90% view of this field. The combined effect is a little...
Great trick with mirror, David! I never assumed live-view would be a problem as Paul mentions viewfinder. Let us know Paul how it went if you tried this. ...
These suggestions make too much sense. I'm not sure I should try them. Okay, I will. I was thinking of shooting some tiles in the bathroom, to check alignment,...
I did the test. The focal plane of the camera was about 50 inches from the wall. I was shooting my Tamron 28-200mm lens, set at 28mm. I put a few pieces of...
I'm glad you tried this. It is a "major drag" (maybe an old saying but in here it's all the rage with the kids) to have a defective camera, hmm, a very...
This is probably a dumb question, but on an Alpha 700, when the scene setting is for "vivid colors", does this affect the RAW or only the JPEG image. I'm...
If you process the raw file using the supplied Sony Image Data Converter then it is possible to use the embedded "scene" information. Other converters such as...
You're right, the scene modes is not explicitly used in ACR (Adobe Camera Raw, supplied with Photoshop family of application), but the choices selected by the...

Hi Bill and fellow Alphatographers, In a Raw image file, the Raw capture data is always Raw (give or take some on-chip pre-processing), but camera settings are...
... Thanks for the insight, Peter and others. I love the camera. I hadn't thought about where or how to share, but quickly opened a Flickr page and tossed a...
Ok, I missed something - what camera are we talking about?  Bill, your photos are beautiful! Thanks for sharing! KopyKat * AKA * Kathy ... From: Bill...
... Now from: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wildbill-mn/2834512487/ Comments: peterblaisephotography @ Flickr.com says: Great catch - and great catch-light in...
Hi, Peter, and thanks!! I'll put these comments in Flickr, too, but to answer your questions... Yes, the lens is the Sony Reflex 500mm F8. For a while, that...
Hi Diane Ross, I do have PCMCIA CF to PC and XD to PC card adapters but Windows sometimes doesn't assign the correct drive for these cards either. As stated...
The advent of the A900 ses a new standard by which everyone should benefit and improve their photographic output. It is a Full Frame sensor body that offers...
Thanks, Don. I read a little about the A900. Did it say it has no flash? Or am I reading that wrong? That means we have to pop for a flash also? Or...
No, that's quite right ... it has no "pop-up" flash, only the proprietary hot shoe. The new flash for this system is the HVL-F58AM ... which really is quite...
Yes, that is correct. As many other professional models it doesn't have the built in flash on top of the view finder which will neccessitate a separate flash,...
Oh, I missed that "do not need one" part. LOL ... that's good, Kat. Like saying, "Who needs that darn sun, anyway?"  Yes, we can take images without...
Sounds like the camera will be $3500 then - if you have other lenses to put on the new body. I can't see getting a camera without having a flash - especially...
