Index of Sony A550 Expert Reviews
- Photocrati—“The the A550 would be a fine choice for DSLR novices thanks to the many digicam-style features, but the great versatility and advanced functions make it just as suitable for photo enthusiasts.”
- DPReview—“Sadly, the much asked-for depth-of-field preview and mirror lock-up options have not returned. In both live view modes, the lens aperture is kept wide-open until the shot is taken, giving no representation of depth-of-field. And, although the mirror could theoretically be kept in the ‘up’ position, the new MF Check live view system still flips the mirror down and up again just as the shot is being taken, even when combined with self-timer. Whether this lack of mirror lock-up will make any difference to images won’t become apparent until we’ve tested the camera.”
- PhotoReview—“Buy this camera if: – You want an affordable interchangeable-lens camera with fast autofocusing regardless of whether Live View or the viewfinder is used for shot composition – You want body-integrated image stabilisation that works with all lenses – You’d like a wide range of user-adjustable controls and functions – You require fast burst speeds and a generous buffer capacity – You could make use of the extended sensitivity range, despite its associated image noise.”
- DigitalCameraInfo—” the A550 is a solidly built camera with decent imaging performance across the board, and a few features that stand out clearly from the pack. It strikes us as a bit expensive, particularly since it lacks the video shooting capability that’s increasingly becoming standard for gear in this price range. However, between in-camera HDR and fast burst-rate shooting, you can grab shots that would be lost otherwise, and that certainly makes this a camera worth considering.”
- PhotoclubAlpha—”This camera definitely found a nook in the reviewers photo system, however he also indicated it probably would not be used a lot. As far as a lightweight travel camera it would be neat but he really would have preferred a low ISO of 100 rather than than the A550’s 200.”
