Abstract: Sony has always been a company that does things a little differently and its SLT-series D-SLRs are a good example of this. Sony inherited its D-SLR platform from Konica Minolta, but has very quickly built its own identity with the subsequent generations o...
Poor button ergonomics, no flip-out LCD, Kit lens feels plasticky and cheap
The Sony Alpha A35 is a viable alternative for its entry-level Canon EOS 600D and Nikon D3100 competitors. It doesn't have any special surprises in picture quality or usability, although we think the build quality of the bundled lens isn't great and the b...
Excellent for shooters who prefer using Live View to the viewfinder. Range of picture effects. Image stabilisation in the body
No flip-down screen like on the A33. Kit 55-200mm lens is not great
The A35 is a subtle update to the Alpha range of SLRs and while it won't be a game-changer, it's certainly good at what it does....

Like: Autofocus is lightning fast and although the lens feels to have been made down to a price it is sharp with good contrast and colour, even at the 200mm end. Focus, exposure and colour accuracy are all very good. Movie quality is excellent.
Dislike: The flaw in this camera, which may be corrected in a full production model, is that in Hi burst mode the camera freezes after a few frames and the viewfinder blacks out. It's not a problem with Lo burst (uncropped frame) mode
Abstract: Sony's just-announced SLT-A35 takes the 16.2-megapixel sensor and the Translucent Mirror Technology (TMT) technology from the popular SLT-A55V and includes them in a smaller, lighter and lower-priced camera body. Introduced to replace the SLT-A33 model...

It's great to see Sony's commitment to pellicle mirror technology continuing and being used in affordably-priced cameras that are designed to appeal to both novice users and more experienced photographers. Sony has got a lot of things right with this tech...
The Sony Alpha A35 offers up plenty of features for intermediate and even beginners to get stuck into. There are lots of automatic modes and settings including vivid portrait, landscape, sunset, and for that aged look, black & white. There’s also the option to customise your shots, letting you change contrast, saturation and the sharpness for a more professional look for your photos. Image qualit
As good as image quality is there are times when the Sony Alpha A35 will sometimes underexpose. On the odd occasion will you notice a lack of brightness in some shots when pointing and shooting. So it could perform better in darker conditions to begin with. Otherwise the Alpha 35 offers great noise control. Photography fans will also bemoan the lack of optical viewfinder on place of an electronic
For its price the Sony Alpha A35 offers great value for money. It takes some great shots capable of rivalling more expensive digital SLR cameras, and is therefore well worth checking out. Be sure to look online for the best bargain before heading to th...
Abstract: The Sony a33 has a translucent mirror design and is identified as a D-SLT. With a 16.2Mp CMOS APS-C sized sensor at its heart, the a35s photosites (or pixels) are more spread out over a larger sensor surface area. ...
Given the current street price of the Sony SLT-A35, it's a real bargain and a camera suitable for both beginners and enthusiast photographers. If kitted out with better (and pricier) optics such as the Sony's Carl Zeiss options, then I daresy this li...
