- buy Sony DSLR SLT A55

great review thanks…..
hi. do you know if this camera has a DC Input so you can charge the camera while taking videos? thanks!
I was going to ask the same question as the guy below.
should I get this instead of the canon t3i?
Great camera bought on evidence on this video. Thanks
i did buy a sony system camera today
@rollerblade4life100 I’m selling my 380 for this one. Delivery on Monday yay!
@thegarethify dont get this camera tom simpson has it and that would copying
@thegarethify LOL at gary
niceeee thank you soooo much!! crazyyy hot
@RedAndBlackPacman A55 shoots 10ips and it’s amazing! I’ve used many times the mode and I can tell you that I got many nice pictures. d5100′s ISO goes up to 25 000, but personnally I don’t think that is that useful because your pictures might come up with a bad quality. A55 goes up to 12 800 which is actually good… but still too high for me.
@putty1574 Same thing with me! I looove it as well.
@Baalx3 Yeah, that is a really big problem. I shot for like 1 minute and I could feel the heat on my camera… it really sucks. But since video shooting isn’t my priority, it’s not a big problem for me.
@thegarethify I have a Sony a55 and it does the job. In fact, I really like my camera and I’m not disappointed. I think you should look at the features and choose a camera that suits you and your needs. Personnally, I classy my camera as a Reflex, but some people would say that it’s not a real reflex… it depends on your opinion
I know very little but would this be classified as a dslr? Or would I be safer with a Canon or Nikon?
just sold my sony a290, getting this before long. cant wait
@brianbesley Thanks for watching & your comment.
Very comprehensive review, thanks Dave. Am buying it tomorrow.
For how long can you record video? How long does does the battery last?
@aftech100 noup, i just got mine.. it is epic =)
This camera is very poor shooting HD video, and Auto mode. the battery life is extremely poor and it overheats in HD video mode. buy a new battery for 70 and then it’ll be ok. But it still is always overheating.
@RedAndBlackPacman Yes it can. I own this camera and the screen flips out on the side all directions. I would recommend this camera. I love it.
should i get this or nikon d5100? the only thing i dont like about a55 is that the screen cant flip out on the side like nikon does
other than manual zoom on the lense -is there a button to zoom in and out? -
@mohaalagi It is a DSLT. Nearly identical concept, difference in the internal mirror system.
