Fantastic Camera
If you want a great entry level SLR with tilting live view LCD screen and plenty of mega pixels then this is a GREAT camera.

If you wanted to nit pick you could point out that noise at high ISO settings is quite bad compared to the likes of a Nikon D3. But for the price it is definitely 5 stars!

When live view is a priority
Having bought and used one for some half a year, I love this camera. Its rather unique trick for a DSLR is the live view system, which auto focuses as quickly as when using the traditional viewfinder. This means it can be used in live view most normally unlike most other systems which are slow or clunky. I thought the flip out screen was a bit of a gimmick before I got it, but it has come in useful so often I miss it when using other cameras. It can give you that bit more potential to set up an odd shot otherwise not practical.

On the down side, the live view system doesn't offer an image zoom so for very fine manual focusing other camera types may be better. Also the implementation means the optical viewfinder image is relatively small compared to other systems.

The other general plus of the system is the body based image stabilisation system. This means practically any lens can be stabilised, unlike on other lens based systems where it is often lacking on cheaper or shorter focal length lenses.

I have bought another camera since for other uses, but I kept the A350 which remains my favourite for indoor use and for wider angle shooting.
