Sony Alpha A500 A550 DSLR Review

Photocrati has reviewed the new Sony Alpha A500 and A550. The A500 features a 12.3 megapixel CMOS sensor, the A550 features a 14.2 megapixel sensor, and both cameras feature a 3" tilting screen (921k pixels on the A550, 230k on the A500), and 5fps shooting (upto 7fps on the A550), live view, steadyshot inside (anti-shake sensor), Auto HDR, and HDMI out. The A500 is available for £586

"Although the menu does not include nearly as many items as you’ll find in some competing DSLRs, the A500 and A550 are well-equipped, missing only reflex mirror pre-lock and depth of field preview. They provide many other advanced features including Wireless Off-Camera TTL flash capability. Both are also suitable for sports photography at 5 fps."
