I know that you have read one of the many sony a35 review online and you are thinking that you should buy a sony a35 yourself. However, you see that compared to prices online, the a35 in your local store is a little bit more expensive and well, that is pretty understandable since they have to pay for rent and taxes, compared online when they have little to pay for. So, what do you do? Risk trusting reviews and buy the camera online for a cheaper price and only getting a chance to hold it once it has come in or buy at the local store? Well, I suggest neither of the two. I suggest that you ask to be able to try out the a35 in your local store and see if you like it yourself. Once you get the feel for it, tell the clerk that you will just come back for it later and you may now purchase it online.
