Very Solid DSLR With Some Great Features & Price Apr 14, 2012
By Kevin
"The traveler"
I've had a Canon EOS 450 for several years and wanted to upgrade. What I wanted was a camera with HD video (EOS 450 doesn't even have video feature), at least 16 mp resolution, fast burst, swirl screen, and good photo quality for sure. First of cause I was still looking at Canon lines of DSLR cameras, such as EOS 60D. Although I am an avid user of all sorts of digital cameras (I have about 6 or 7 point-and-shoot or SLR DCs), I don't really like going out with a heavy and bulky camera bag so actually my most used cameras are long room all-in-one cameras, which are my Sony DSC-HX5V and Canon PS S3. I am not willing to go all the way to Canon EOS 7D or 5D Mark since I don't think I need those professional level machines and those are heavy.
I've used Canon for long time and mostly they are of good photo quality, but with a SLR camera, lenses are more important, and Canon's low end kit lenses (the ones I have with my EOS 450) are not that great, photos with these lenses are clean, but colors are dull, and not very sharp. If I have to spend a lot of money on lenses, it starts to get expensive. So after studying all the mid-low end DSLR, I think Sony A55 provides the best of all, especially with some nice features such as HDR and bracketing (my Sony DSC-HX5V has bracketing but not HDR), and of cause the sweeping panorama, and fast burst speed, plus it is light in weight. I also like GPS, it's cool to be able to record such information on the photos when you travel sometimes.
Tired of changing lenses during photo shooting, I elect to have 18-250 kit lens, and this Amazon seller's package with this lens and an extra battery, a 32GB C10 SD card and some other stuff totaling only $1050, very good deal. But again I got this a little late since right after I received the package Sony announced the new A57 model coming out. Well, just have to forget about it.
After using the Sony A55 for about a month and with more than 1000 pictures, I would give some thoughts:
Pros:
Very good photo quality as entry level DSLR with kit lens. Much better lens than Canon's entry level products; Photos are sharp and colors are vivid. GPS is very fast to detect satellites, much faster than my Sony DSC HX5V; I read pro's comments about this camera tends to over expose a little so I set exposure -0.3 lower, it comes out with great results. I really like the bracketing feature since it can take 3 photos rapidly with different exposure, and you can choose later on which one you want to keep. Believe me, with different conditions, sometimes you want a photo to over expose a little and sometimes under expose a little, with this feature you don't need to adjust it and take a photo twice to achieve this goal. The HDR really gives some nice details and tame the contrast when you need. Video is really great. Comparing the photos with the ones taken with Sony DSC HX5V, you know why you do need to have a DSLR camera sometimes. BTW, Canon EOS 60D does not have any of these nice features.
Cons:
The body size. A55 tries to make itself a mini SLR, but the height is bit too small, holding it and moving fingers around doesn't feel as comfortable as on the Canon 450D. That's why the new A57 has bulked up to A65's size; the sweeping panorama on A55 does not seem to be as good as on the HX5V, you hear ka-ka-ka continuous shooting sound, while on HX5V it's quiet. Also on HX5V you get 180 degree while A55 does not get that much; Also I would suggest Sony to consider adopting Canon's side open swirl screen.
Overall I like this camera very much and have happily given away my Canon 450 set to a family member as a gift.
Great starter bundle Apr 04, 2012
By Sabbonis
Dear All. I've purchased this set as present. So I did not make any photos by myself. But I've got strong positive recommendations from people who finally own it. According to them, photos are of a great quality, A55 operates perfect. Bundle contains necessary starter kit and even more.
