compare between sony alpha- 350 & canon 450d

Which is the better camera if compare with sony alpha-350 and canon 450d regarding all features.Please answerd me as soon as possible.

The Canon.
Simply that.


But what about going for different cameras? What about comparing them to the Olympus E520... or the Pentax K200??? Those are far better cameras than the other two.

What is that you need???

If features is what you want... go for the Pentax K200. Maybe you will miss the Live View... but is far better camera than any of those.

That's a matter of opinion, Alan. But we've already argued that to death. But we agree the Canon is the better of the two, which is ironic considering that Canon uses SONY CMOS chips!

As I mentioned in your other question about the same topic, the Canon is superior.

Here's the thing about SONYs. Although the Alpha series is getting great marks, it's just an improved Minolta design as far as I'm concerned. Sure, they can claim the Leica lens moniker, but these days, both Canon and Nikon are leading the pack in glass and quality. And that's the heart of any DSLR - the glass. Bodies will come and go, but the lenses are where the image is made or broken. And for me, you can't do better than Canon or Nikon. I have the XSi and LOVE it. Fast, sharp, and bold colors.
Stick with the Canon family.

Let's see... the sensor is just an analog device. It has NOTHING to do in what the image is like afterwards. That can be seen in cameras with really different IQ, but same sensor... like the A700 and Nikon D300. Nikon and Pentax are known for not caring much about a grain look, but more about colors and detail. Canon looses the colors in high ISO.

Canon doesn't use a Sony CMOS. First of all... Canon doesn't buy CMOS from Sony, but CCDs for the point & shoot cameras. Second... Canon has it's own facility and even their own technology of CMOS. Third... if you are talking about the CMOS sensor that is used in the Nikon D300 and the Sony A700, I'm sorry... but NO again. Canon makes sensors that are actually not APS-C, but 22x14mm. That is why there is a difference between the Nikon, Pentax and Sony (1,5x) and Canon (1,6x).

And lenses... again: Canon is no way near to be the best making lenses nowadays.

And for Sony... I'd not trust anyone giving up a good viewfinder, in order to get a camera with fast AF in live view, just for the sake of selling more. That's my point of view.

Alan Schamber.

Well I stand corrected on the CMOS question. Heard Leo Leporte talking about Nikon (not Canon) using Sony CMOS chips. Should've confirmed this first.

As for lenses. That's YOUR opinion, Alan.

You can say ANY lens out there that is made by Canon, and is the best in it's class. If you can... I'll just accept it. But fact is that there is ONLY two lenses that are the best in their class made by Canon.
This lenses are the EF-S 10-22 and the EF 70-200 f2,8. Don't like facts??? Well... that's NOT an opinion.

And thanks for showing that more points, doesn't is equal for more knowledge (come on... Canon buying CMOS sensors to Sony???)

Alan.

Then PROVE it. Don't just give rhetoric. Those are two outstanding lenses, I agree. I also happen to like the 18-55. And tossing around insults doesn't equate to knowledge either.

I'm not insulting. I'm telling facts. And man... have you ever tried the kit lenses from Olympus and Pentax???

What are you talking about when you say you like the 18-55???

You are SO funny. If it's not even the best in it's class... how can it compare to higher class??? No... IT CAN'T!!!

Come on. Kit lenses from Nikon and Canon are way too poor. In performance, and ALSO in mechanical quality. You cannot compare those lenses with even the Pentax and Olympus kit lenses. They are in another league.

See ya in the next post...
Alan.

I swear you're not even reading my replies. I said I liked it. I didn't say it was the best in it's class. I said I liked it. Good entry level lens. Which is the majority of the questions we have here. You seem to think that everyone should just take Alan's word from it. The least you can do is provide some quotes from sources when you speak "oro verum." (speak in fact)

All I'm sayin'. Now, can we dispense with the flame wars? it's getting tiresome.

James I saw some photo from www.pbase.com there some photo take by a350 and some 450d.I like those photo which are taken by a350.Iam not a good photographer but it is my opinion.Can you tell me which lens are used in those photo that are taken by sony alpha 350.

Well, as the old saying goes, "your mileage may vary."

Without knowing exactly which pictures you are referring to, it would be impossible to speculate. You may be able to email the photographer and just ask.
