At A Glance
Sony's first translucent-mirror camera offers impressive continuous-autofocus capabilities, an amazing burst mode, and excellent image quality to go with its smaller size. The major trade-off: no through-the-lens optical viewfinder.
Manufacturer’s Description
The Sony Alpha DSLR-SLT-A55 Digital Camera will take you to the leading edge of DSLR technology, with the translucent mirror design. A high-resolution live image preview with rapid, accurate phase detection autofocus is available at all times--via the LCD or the electronic viewfinder. This means that even moving objects stay in sharp focus at all times, whether you're shooting full HD video or stills.
