after going through the specs..

i still dun see the hype of it....except maybe for the 15 AF points and high fps..

.....................and no more live-view?

can this camera beat the D90 and 550D?

will be waiting for a full review though.

15AF still quite low..

But at least it is an improvement over the 9AF point from the current entry-level Alpha system

All sifus,

Pls educate me how to analysis image output from brightness histogram chart ?

stil way too low from 45AF..

for at least i know, sony 11 AF is sensitive then others*, and A550 AF is great too. so i believe the 15AF point will be as great or even better!

hoping it will have a better built la.

more power SSS. better metering. and better placement of important buttons.

hoping they will put a dial on it as well. n a 2nd LCD screen.

why need more lcd? drain more power..

i still waiting for a700 replacement.....

using NEX batts ah, power capacity not that high only wor..

electron: hahahhaha ... i also dunno. copy and paste only.. but hope it can be tru... lol

electron, it's a SR4, so its quite 70% true already.

SR4: ya ya ya ya.....

a230 series battery also better, isn't it?

If SR4 70% true, I hope the remaining 30% would be a new and better battery wei. ):

another rumors but in Chinese :

About a55 ...

1670萬像素,APS CMOS 16.7 million pixel, APS CMOS

15點對焦系統, 中央3十字對焦點,左右兩個2十字對焦點,其餘均為普通對焦點(f5.6吧) 15-point AF system, 3 cross on the central focus of the left and right 2 Cross right focus, the rest are common to the focus (f5.6 it)

對焦系統可能係N提供,能夠好似3D tracking咁連續追焦...對焦點係方格中間加十字 Department of N Focus system may provide, as if 3D tracking to focus ... on Link continuous focus tracking system cross the middle of the box

神明晌街上是但搵左d雀黎試,追焦連拍左80張,只有20張miss It seems that the street is a god, but left d earn bird Li test, left 80 Continuous focus tracking, only 20 miss

反光鏡係全新既半透固定式設計,需通電方能反光 The new system not only transflective mirror fixed design, can only be reflective power

反光鏡拍照時唔會升起,但可以升起清潔sensor Do not mirror the photo will rise, but can rise cleaning sensor

好喇,點解影相唔升起呢?因為a55既連拍速度係10FPS! Hao La, Why Do not photograph rise? Because a55 continuous shooting speed of both lines 10FPS!

ISO100- 25600 ,支援NEX既漸進式高ISO合成功能 ISO100-25600, both gradual NEX support synthesis of high ISO

不過,唔啟動後者既功能,一般狀態下,ISO6400既微粒=a900@ISO400既質素 However, Do not start which not only function, general condition, ISO6400 particles = a900 @ ISO400 both the quality of both

啟動左"漸進式高ISO合成功能",ISO12800可用 Start left "progressive synthesis of high ISO", ISO12800 available

操作係中階機既操作模式,亦即支援QUICK NAVI Machine operating system in order both operating modes, which support QUICK NAVI

錄影時支援AF功能 Recording function to support AF

SSM鏡頭對焦速度有所提升,神明俾我既啟示係"超超超快!!" SSM lens speed has improved, and divine inspiration to serve both my department, "Ultra fast!!"

EVF超清,具體像素不明,畫質只比a900既差 EVF super-clear, specific unknown pixel, image quality is only worse than the a900 only


不過,有少少缺點: However, there is little disadvantage:

電池係NEX3/5專用果種電池 Cell line NEX3 / 5 fruit species-specific cell

EVF有DOF功能,可是亦會因收光圈而跟住暗 EVF has DOF functions, but also for catch collection aperture and dark

EVF影完相會playback,不過應該可以disable EVF meet finished film playback, but should be able to disable

唔支援鏡頭調焦 Do not support the lens focus


最後,a55以外既資料: Finally, a55 both outside information:

NEX7會延遲推出,Sony認為NEX3/5太好賣了,太早推NEX7只會影響左銷售 NEX7 delay the launch, Sony think NEX3 / 5 good sell, too early to push NEX7 sales will only affect the left

a55之後會有a77,新7系既對焦反應比a55既更強 a55 later there will be a77, the new 7 series only focus not only stronger response than a55


以上... More ...

actually A55 is new model or replacing existing model?

should be say as another new A5xx series kua...
