Limited-edition Sony Alpha 350

Leonard Goh | May 21, 2008

Camera manufacturers are known to create limited-edition models for their existing ones and slap on a higher price tag for the exclusivity. In 2000, Nikon re-released its S2000 rangefinder and, no prizes for guessing it right, limited this to 2,000 pieces worldwide.

Clad in a matt gold chassis instead of the conventional black, buyers can also expect a specially designed strap and each camera will have a serial number starting from 000 to 200. From the pictures, we understand the kit lens will also have a gold band around it to match the color scheme.

Other than the exterior, the specifications of the camera remain the same.

The shooter is available only from the Japanese Sony Style Web site and is priced at US$960. For a sum like this, it is pretty affordable for a limited-edition piece. If you're planning to get it, just pray that its value will rise over time.

The color scheme reminds me a little bit of the silver Panasonic FZ30/FZ50 superzooms!

Value rises over time, are you serious, for a SONY DSLR?! I'd bet that someone who would actually pay more for it over time would be nuts! haha! Over time, newer and better cameras would inevitably come out... who would care about the limited color scheme...
