The editors liked

  • Articulated screen
  • Good image quality
  • 27 mm wideangle

  • 10 fps burst mode and automatic panoramas
  • Great qualiy photos up to 1600 ISO
  • 1080i HD video with a fast autofocus and mic input
  • Stabilisation and GPS both included
  • The Sony Alpha SLT-A55 is a fast camera – amazingly so at times. The main reason for this is the lack of movable mirrors inside the body. This means it's not a traditional DSLR – even though it features similar sensor technology and interchangeable lenses
  • And as a result you can capture up to 10 frames per second with the Sony Alpha SLT-A55. The lack of mirrors also allow the Sony Alpha SLT-A55
  • Large and well labeled controls
  • Tilting LCD
  • High resolution EVF
  • Easier to shoot video on this than a standard DSLR
  • Swift and responsive
  • Easy to use
  • ISO12800 maximum light sensitivity for shooting in the near dark without flash
  • 10fps continuous shooting
  • Built-in GPS for geo-tagging stills and video
  • Lightweight for its class
  • Fast and responsive
  • Incredibly fast
  • Shoots 1080i video
  • Comfortable
  • Compact shape
  • Fully articulated screen
  • 10 frames per second continuous focus burst shooting
  • GPS
  • Great video autofocus

The editors didn't like

  • Live view blackout after shooting
  • Fast memory cards are a must
  • Small buffer
  • Video button in an awkward place
  • Average amounts of detail
  • No progressive zoom
  • Kit lens only has a 3x zoom
  • Average sensitivity
  • Some limitations with still photography
  • Not quite as well made as some of its competitors
  • Electronic viewfinder might need getting used to
  • Poor battery life if you use GPS
  • Can't adjust the settings while recording video
  • Supplied 1855 mm lens isn't up to scratch
  • On the downside
  • The lack of moving mirrors inside the Sony Alpha SLT-A55 mean that what you see isn't exactly what you get. Instead of seeing through the lens itself
  • The Sony Alpha SLT-A55 uses an electronic viewfinder (EVF). It's good
  • But it uses more battery life than a proper viewfinder
  • And it can never quite match up to DSLR rivals.
  • Plastic-y feel to the build
  • Disappointing build for price tag
  • Plasticky outer shell is disappointing at this price
  • Electronic viewfinders aren't to everybody's taste
  • Electronic Viewfinder won't be for everyone
  • 16
  • 9 ratio of LCD screen not ideal for stills shooting

  • Gut für Aufsteiger Die Sony Alpha SLT-55V ist eine lohnenswerte Anschaffung für Fotofans, die über ihre Kompaktkamera hinausgewachsen sind. Ihre Bedienung ist nicht zu sehr vereinfacht, man erhält aber auch im einfachsten Modus gute Ergebnisse. Wer ke...

  • Wir sind uns sicher, dass die Sony SLT-A55VL im Fotobereich ihren Weg machen wird – im Videobereich kann sie mit ihrer Autofokusfunktion und dem hochauflösenden, ausklappbaren Display punkten. Allerdings fehlen ihr in Sachen Video mit der derzeitigen A...

  • Dynamikumfang der Fotos, Sucher und Display, Geschwindigkeit, GPS
  • Verlust von Bilddetails ab ISO 1.600, Kurze Akku-Laufzeit
  • Es passiert selten, dass eine neue Technologie auf Anhieb überzeugt. Doch Sony ist genau dieses Kunststück mit der Alpha 55 gelungen: Das innovative Spiegeldesign verbessert das seit vielen Jahren bewährte DSLR-Konzept an einer entscheidenden Stelle. Der...

  • Abstract:  Nel completare la recensione della Sony a55 ho avuto un problema con il video: troppo lungo. Ma dopo un paio di giorni di taglia e cuci millimetrici, sono riuscito a farlo rientrare sotto il tetto massimo di 15 min che youtube ci impone. È stato ora aggiu...

  • Buona qualità d'immagine, specie a bassi ISO, Mirino grande, senza lag e con molte informazioni (attivazione automatica con sensore prossimità), Buon bilanciamento del bianco, ottima gamma dinamica, Raffica da 10fps, Display nitido e luminoso, con sensore
  • Buffer troppo piccolo e lento nello svuotarsi, Il mirino elettronico è ben sviluppato ma non ha la resa di quello ottico, Conoscendo il sensore avremmo voluto meno rumore sopra i 1600ISO, Il corpo non è troppo robusto
  • Con la a55 Sony ha realizzato un prodotto particolare perché ibrido sia nella tecnologia che nei contenuti. Il mirino elettronico è forse l'ostacolo maggiore per l'amatore, ma la sua implementazione è probabilmente la migliore vista fino ad oggi. Il feel...

  • Scatto in sequenza, display orientabile, facilità d'uso
  • Presenza di rumore sin da ISO 800
  • La Sony Alpha A55 è in grado di catturare delle ottime foto, ricche di dettagli e dai colori vividi e precisi. È, comunque, necessario fare un paio di precisazioni sulla sensibilità ISO. La prima è positiva poiché siamo riusciti ad avere delle foto utiliz...

  • Abstract:  Det är typiskt Sony att släppa flera snarlika varianter vid samma tillfälle. Tanken är att bredda modellprogrammet på ett billigt sätt så att det ska finnas en modell för alla.Sony A33 och A55 är tvillingar. Båda presenterades samtidigt men A33 var för...
