Canon Forsakes Pros, Sony Fills the Void
| Author's Rating: |
|
Pros: 14mp for under a thousand clams!
Image stabilization in the body
Cons: Needs a little design modification to become ergonomically comfortable.
The Bottom Line:
fourteen megapixels will become the standard for pro cameras as will in-camera image stabilization. Buy Sony and start out ahead of the curve!
Bloo Dog says: I am a twenty-five year Canon-using professional, and I've dumped Canon. Sony's Alpha A350K beats anything Canon has to offer. Sony's image stabilization system lies in the camera rather in the lens. That means that (unlike Canon pro/prosumer cameras) one isn't forced to purchase a new image stabilization every time he buys a new IS lens. There are a lot of second party manufacturers whose lenses are as good as or better than Canon's. The good thing is that they can be ordered with Sony mounts.
Canon has played games with the consumer to boost profit. It sat on its technology and released cameras in small increments of capabilities, forcing professional image makers to upgrade to the next standard, every18 months. Worse, many of Canon's cameras required a trip back to the factory for "recalibration."
Sony's Alpha A350K offers 14mp at a reasonable price. It performs as well as any professional camera I've ever used. Sure, I'll have to start from scratch when I extend my my lens collection, but at least I'll start my system with a camera body whose capabilities won't be eclipsed by another version in another 6-12 months.
Sony, however, released its 14 megapixel wonder as soon as it was ready for the market, not when the consumer could afford another upgrade.
