Sony Alpha DSLR-A300 and A350: Mirror, mirror

Both the A300 and A350 feature an innovative segmented tilting live view screen. Although we've seen tilting screens before, for maximising the distance and angle you can hold the camera at and still see the screen, they've usually been camcorder-style flip-out jobs. Sony's solution maintains the eye-line through the lens of the camera, in a similar way to the quirky JVC GR-DA20 camcorder we Craved last year.

As well as live view, another increasingly ubiquitous dSLR feature is an anti-dust doohickey. Sony sticks to the standard static-free surfacing and sensor shake system.

According to Sony, the A350, pictured above, churns out 2.5 continuous frames per second when using the viewfinder. Sony has also given us a break on the proprietary format front by including CompactFlash memory card compatibility.
