'Sony's first translucent-mirror camera offers impressive continuous-autofocus capabilities, an amazing burst mode, and excellent image quality to go along with its smaller size. '
'excellent camera'
'Part of a new generation of cameras, the SLT-A55 is truly innovative. '
'Because the Sony Alpha SLT-A55 doesn't have to move a mirror around, Sony has been able to get a remarkable 10 frame-per-second burst rate out of the camera.'
'Things we don't like are the adjustable diopter slider (hard to push with the rubber eyepiece attached), the nonilluminating control panel on top (not visible in low light), battery compartment switch on the bottom (difficult to close), and memory card door (inadvertently opening it during a read/write cycle can scramble the images on the card).'
'Once you're ready to see images on your computer, downloading may take a while, since the D100 offers USB connectivity only.'
'It inherits exclusive, high-performance Nikon features such as 3D Matrix Metering, Five-Area Autofocus and a built-in Speedlight with D-TTL flash control capability.'
