Field Review: Sony A55 (Day 1)
Ever since Sony introduced the NEX series, specifically the NEX-5, I’ve been keeping a closer eye on Sony‘s photographic offerings. Like it or hate it, the NEX-5 is a pretty amazing camera. A full APS-C sensor in a body smaller than many point and shoot cameras. Brilliant! So I thought, if the NEX-5 is such a great camera, let’s see what they can do with a “normal” sized DSLR. Enter the Sony A55.
Hands-on with the Sony a580
Originally slated for a 2011 release, the a580 will be in stores in several weeks. Sporting a 16.2 MP sensor and Full HD video, the camera is a full upgrade from the a550 and a slight step up from the soon-to-be released a560, hands-on review here. The a580 is the latest traditional SLR in Sony’s alpha line.
