Key Advantages

The Alpha 350 offers excellent 14.2MP resolution, capturing detailed and high-quality images.

Its Live View function provides enhanced compositional flexibility uncommon in DSLRs of its release time.

The camera features precise autofocus with 9 main points and 10 assist points for accurate focusing.

The inclusion of dual memory card slots offers versatile storage options for users.

The relatively large 2.7-inch LCD screen aids in image review and navigation.

Its compatibility with multiple lenses in the Sony Alpha series adds to its versatility for photographers.

Limitations

As a CCD sensor camera, it may have slower processing speeds compared to newer CMOS sensor models.

The ISO range tops at 3200, which can limit low-light performance compared to modern standards.

The Live View autofocus is slower and less reliable compared to current hybrid systems.

Being an older model, it lacks modern features like video recording or touchscreen controls.

The battery life is moderate and might require frequent replacements for extended shooting sessions.

Its size and weight are comparatively heavier than contemporary mirrorless cameras, impacting portability.
