Here is the ebay description.. I bought it for $465 shipped.

This is the new A350 Sony 14mp camera. I have had
this for about 6 months and I had great plans for
using it but I have had a number of health problems
and I prefer to pass it on rather than let it set.
This is just like new and the photos are excellent.
A350 Sony camera kit includes
the Sony A350 DLSR camera with 18-70 zoom lens
in addition this lot includes 3 more zoom lens.
all in excellent condition from my previous 35mm
and are Minolta mounts and will work on the A350
VIVITAR SERIES-1 28-300
Quantaray 28-200
Promaster 80-200
Value of extra lens $300+
The Tokina lens seen in the photo is not included
since it is not a Minolta mount

also, a number of polarizing filters
The kit includes a Ultra II 2 gig CF card
a battery charger, cables
and a battery comes with the camera.
In total the A350 Kit plus extra lens and cf card
adds up to at least $1000 value here.

Over time (pretty quickly) you'll get the itch to upgrade to some better lenses - but those are fine to start with. You certainly got your money's worth with the camera itself and it's nice to have a CF included so you can shoot when it arrives.

Enjoy your new camera!

ya, I already own an a100 and some of the nice lenses. I am not going to use those lenses included with this auction, maybe sell them and bring the cost of the camera even lower! but for this camera at that price was really cheap

I will be curious how all the lenses you got with this work out. I tried my favorite minolta lens on my sony 350a, it is a 18-200 zoom (vivitar) and it did not work as it did on my maxxum cameras. I was SO bummed, but I have plenty other minolta lenses that work perfectly but they are all minolta brand lenses and not third party. My old flash also didn't work as it did on the old cameras. But you did get a great price on the camera itself.

this really is a discussion, not a flea market listing - moved to cameras.

I think you will get rid of those lenses pretty soon (for under $100), but the price for the camera isn't bad.

Ya the camera looks pretty good for the price. The lens is really what you want to work on.
