body caps of the α350 and α300 use renewable polyamide 11, a vegetable-based plastic
derived from castor oil. Increased use of vegetable-based plastics can lead to a reduction in
greenhouse gas emissions and saving of crude oil resources.
The α350 and α300 D-SLR cameras are available in New Zealand from April 2008 respectively.
