Sony DSLR-A350 multi megapixel snapper

If you crave microscopically high-detail prints then Sony’s new monster 14.2-megapixel digital SLR warrants a serious close-up look.

This swanky shooter, with its smart flip-up screen, arms you with the ability to create poster-sized prints in killer quality.

The A350 is a proper top notch DSLR camera, so what you see through viewfinder is the same as what ends up on the memory card. It also provides extra flexibility thanks to its swanky Live View, mode so you don’t have to have your mush constantly pressed up against its body, as is the case with many a big boy shooter of this ilk.

Flip into action and a secondary sensor kicks in to register the place of your eye so you can see the final image on the tilting LCD at the back.

Top talents
Megapixel monster - If you’re a quality addict then you’ll appreciate additional pixels Sony has thrown in to push the final prints to super high quality.

Variable views – With a digital SLR, you see exactly what the camera is seeing. The new Live View brings the additional benefit of letting you use the big screen at the back as well.

Flip out - you won’t need to strain yourself to make out the image on the screen as it flips down almost 45 degrees and upwards by 90.

Best price: £879.99 on 19 May 2008
