Sony SLT-A57

What I liked about the A57:

+ The feel is excellent, operation and menu navigation are intuitive
+ A permanent Live View is already fine
+ The camera delivers very sharp images, the AF is reliable and available AF points totally ranged me
+ The A57 is quiet (partially transparent mirror motionless)
+ The A57 is very fast
+ The focus magnification for manual readjustment is just awesome
+ The Distortion and CA-camera distance (only Sony lenses) are excellent and are in the RAW
saved what one saves the online search for profiles

What I do not so pleased at the A57:

- The AWB: exterior shots showed a distinct blue cast, indoors a green to yellowish tinge, the photos often seemed soulless and cold
- I was representing myself with the way the A57 blue sky, green grass, yellow colors and skin tones, not really make friends
- The Jpeg camera are over-sharpened, the details, however, often fall the noise reduction of the camera to the victim (even at ISO 100), the overall impression of Jpeg I felt somehow uncomfortable
- The chroma noise in sunlight was me starting at the lowest ISO settings too violent

As a substitute I've bought myself a little Nikon DSLR. Although me one or the other feature of the A57 lacks the recordings (jpeg) of Nikon are easy to fall in love.
