Sony A55 .. Dpreview Gold award!!!!

[Ghostfit]

Have been eyeing the Pana FZ100 as a potential replacemant for my aging FZ18(Small, compact, GP, chuck around cam), saw and held the FZ100 at MSC couple days back.
But with a street price of $899 ? :bigeyes: ...looks like I'll be replacing the FZ18 with an A55 ! :think:

Yes of course...the IQ alone is worth more than the $100+ difference!!!

Wow.. I am thinking of getting the 550D or D90 and this came.
Any opinion on this vs 550d and d90?

D90 is already being replaced by the D7000 which appears to use the same sensor.

If your concern is continuous fast AF in video recording, then a55/33 is the only choice now.

With goodies like GPS, pananormic, 10fps....these features alone thrash all its competitors and it's priced cheaper somemore!!!

Unless you want to slam it's lower specs battery and small body...then there's A560/580 which will meet your needs too.

btw, it seems canon has just announced 60D...which looks more like a D90 competitor now...

many thrashed it's plastic body and SD card changed, but i would forsee if Sony does the same to A7xx, more people will thrash...

Hi, How does the camera capture 3D image with one lens and one image sensor such that user needs to put on 3D specs to view the 3D image like what viewers see on Samsung 3D TV with 3D specs in Best Denki/Harvey Norman super markets

 

[maxwell207]

canon 60D is totally NOT impressive... compared to A55 launch

.....the camera calculates binocular parallax and generates two images at the same time from the standard panoramic images: one is for the right eye, the other is for the left eye...

Hi, Do u need a 3D spec or ordinary one to view the 3D image captured by the camera on the 3D TV.

Yes, when hooked up to a Bravia TV with 3D support and you wear 3D glasses.

Hi, In other words, I don't think there is a 3D effect when you watch a 3D TV using a 3D specs for an image captured by the camera using the 3D panorama sweep mode.

 

[ahyooo]

i believe sony style will able to show u 3d panorama using 3D Bravia wit 3D specs

seeing is believing

 

[zhehaolau]

Thanks for reply guys.
D7000 out already? I thought it was just rumorred but not out yet!

Not really in need of a camera now so i can wait a little hopefully d7000 pricing is good. Also wonder what 600D can offer.
