1. innovative camera:
I've been looking for a while; Camera should be fast, have contemporary features, can be used universally and also be suitable holiday. With the small body size and low weight, the essential amenities (also Full HD video) and the GPS they met my expectations fully.
2. with a bug:
TTL / ADI flash is only available with a shutter lag - lt Sony seems to be an unrecoverable situation -. A great pity (affects all A33 / A55 models). Flash shooting with internal or external flash so can not be scheduled for snapshots or sporting conditions. The only possibility would be to flash with manual adjustment, however, results in doing so:
3. a disadvantage:
since the camera only has electronic viewfinder, for example, flash photography is with manual settings only with great difficulty; in low light conditions and for flash shots manually set exposure parameters remain viewfinder and display dark - or better noticed one sees nothing. Even otherwise faint conditions lead to poorer images in the viewfinder and display.
If you can live with it, generally only one TTL or ADI compatible flash used in the case of flash photography, then, however, one can enjoy a good to very good image quality.
In principle also applies to this camera: even better lenses require higher sensor resolutions. With Universalzoom- or standard zoom lenses it is necessary to adapt to a more or less compromises - especially the supplied Kitoptiken. To realize the Potentiel the camera, it is worthwhile to think about Sony Zeiss or G Lens.
