Hello Hive friends and greetings again to the Geek Zone community! I want to share a review of this Sony Alpha 350 camera. A couple of days ago I came across this offer on the internet and I couldn't pass it up since I've been thinking about buying a camera for a while but at first I had thought about a Canon. The reason why I bought this one was simply because of the 100U$D offer.
I still have in mind to buy the camera I especially want but for now I can use this one. It is a used camera, old model and mirrorless system. What does this mean? Well, that these Sony cameras have no optical viewfinder or mirrors that reflect the light is this viewfinder. They contain electronic viewfinders and work without this mirror, they are also usually smaller than the popular SLRs.
Buying this type of products is quite complicated when it comes to choosing them since they must be in a very good condition, verify how many shots the camera has a useful life through a website or program, being a series of steps to have the result and from there decide if it is worth buying it for the price they set since a camera of this type has a useful life of about 100,000 shots.
Fortunately the camera belonged to someone who intended at some point to do a photography course but left it and the camera only had about 2500 shots, so it would be a useful life almost 100% in addition, the aesthetic condition of the camera spoke for itself, very well maintained since it was practically not used as it should.
This camera also came with all the factory accessories such as each necessary cover, instruction manuals, cables to transfer files, original Sony bag to transport the equipment, original charger and an extra battery, something great because the batteries in these mirrorless equipment consume much more energy than the common SLR.
Regarding the condition of use of the lens, it was very good, there was no fungus or bumps, the contact points were not rusty but on the contrary were impeccable. The buttons of the camera's functions were in very good condition and the autofocus was also in very good condition, being that it wears out very easily due to its increased use.
So, I could say that this is a very good value for money product, who buys a professional camera with these specifications at $100? It's a tough one! So, what did you think about buying this product? I look forward to your comments about it 😁 I send you greetings from Buenos Aires and have a great day and weekend.
