I also has this problem. I used the f-58AM with A55 during last week's golf (indoor event) and it was like 0.5 sec lag. To make matter worst, if I used the M mode the LCD went blank and I couldn't see anything hahaha... Perhaps these are weak points of an SLT system that Sony needs to address...
Whoooaaaaa... thanks a million henavs, it'll consume the same space under my bike seat... A55 + 16-80 still looks slim... now I can surely decide hahahaha... Hope soon it'll be available here in Jakarta... thanks again!

Agree with jekjek, I've used A700 for 2 years and A550 for 6 months and I really missed my A700. I haven't used A33/55 but I assume it would have a similar control with A550 (which I don't like). What I like from the A550 is the live view function only.
hahaha... yep, it's harder than i thought... I haven't seen the real size of A33/55, perhaps after seeing the size it would be easier for me to decide...
thanks...
Wooww... this is just what I need!. (but makes me confused even more) :D ... I'm planning to exchange my A550 with a smaller M4/3 or NEX system since I love to ride (motorcycle) and shoot (photo). Previously I used A700 + 16-105 + Sigma 10-20 + HVL-F58AM while riding. They all used to bang with...
