I agree with the post above on the sharpness from corner to corner. The only thing I would add is if shooting with a lens that is soft in the corners, crop out the center of the image. Usually by cropping you can get rid of the soft corners. Good luck! posted in Creating backgrounds
I have both the Sony a350 and I wanted a few more bells and whistles, so I bought a Canon 50d. I prefer the Canon, although I stil use both cameras. The Canon has a ten times zoom feature that I use when manually focusing, the Sony doesn't come close to that range. With the Canon you can see the focus moving as you fine tune the focal range. The Sony I hope for the best. As far as lenses go, a good prime lens is a must, for the Sony I have both the standard 50mm and a macro 50mm, for the Canon I use a 35mm prime. That said, I think you'll find almost any DSLR will give you great photographs once you get used to what it will do. posted in New DLSR?
