thinking about buying this.

Maybe a couple other lenses later.

Pros?................. cons?

Is it easy to use?

Way too big for my use.

Spinner,

I would love to have that camera. 14.2 Mega Pixels. WOW!!!!

I bought one of the first digital SLR cameras, an Olympus. It had a whopping 1.5 Mega Pixels. It also cost me $1,500 of memory serves me right. It had one lens, zoom type but not interchangeable like the old film type SLR cameras.

Boy, that Sony looks really nice. Buy the 4 year warranty since it is electronic.

That sure would be a nice camera. No, it won't fit into your back pocket like JC wants, but it sure would be a nice camera. Talk about ultra clear close ups of flies, man that would be great for that. Drool!!!

Don't have experience with Sony DSLRs (these camera are based on the Konicaa/Minolta technology Sony acquired), but here is a link to dpreview which is a highly rated product review and news website. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sonydslra350/

No doubt that the Sony has all the credentials you could want ( from reading the description and the spec sheet ). I had Minolta's for a LONG time and really liked them, so if this is a direct descendent of the Minolta brand, I'd be happy to give it a go.

BUT, I already spent my tax rebate ( if it ever gets here ?? ), and my wife's, on some new fly fishing gear and the Olympus 850SW. AND I wouldn't dare take a camera like the Sony to so many of the places I want to take pictures. SO I guess I will be contented with the Olympus, and fish like this ...... 22" plus brown.



In places like this ....... on the South Fork of the Snake.



( Hey Paul, those were for you, just to let you know I remembered your earlier request to get back to taking photos of fishies. )

I happened to read a bunch of stuff about that Nikon just a couple weeks ago. All very positive.

Looking forward to seeing some of your great photos taken with that one soon.
