Senior Member 5,886 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: BM	QUOTE(albnok @ Sep 12 2010, 10:40 PM) Also, here is a repost from another forum: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Pros of A33/A55 over A560/A580: - A55 has 10 FPS - video recording has phase-detect AF (A560/A580 is manual focus video) - no loud mirror slap sound - no mirror shake - the swivel LCD is arguably more practical and can be folded to protect the screen - you can change all your settings in the EVF (ISO is missing from the A450/A500/A550; don't know if it came back in the A560/A580) - you can use the EVF in bright sunlight - you can playback pictures in the EVF (useful for chimping in low light conditions and places where you don't want the LCD to be glaring) - you don't get the ghosting from the side LEDs in the viewfinder that the A450/A500/A550 suffered from (I don't know if they've fixed this on the A560/A580) - A55V has built-in GPS unit - A33/A55 has much bigger viewfinder - A33/A55 always has phase detect AF in Live View; A560/A580 has phase detect AF in Quick AF LV, and contrast detect AF in main-sensor-based Focus Check LV (since CDAF is introduced, they cannot call it MF Check LV anymore.) - you don't get inconsistent WB from MF Check LV compared to Quick AF LV (my experience on the A550) Cons of A33/A55 versus A560/A580: - EVF exhibits RGB tearing in bright contrasty light - weaker battery life - 10 FPS mode shows last picture taken, not live feed - smaller - does not support battery grip - supposedly less light and thus more sensor amplification (have to wait for DxO to get the official numbers) - the shutter has to go down first and then open and then go down again and then open again (like the NEX-3 and NEX-5, or the A550 in MF Check LV) - mirror absolutely must not be touched as there is no way to clean it - if there is any backfocus you cannot tune it as easily as you can on a body where the AF unit is on the bottom of the camera - in 10 FPS mode, the aperture is fixed to as close as F3.5 as possible (meaning a F1.4 lens will shoot at F3.5, and a F5.6 lens will shoot at F5.6) - in video with AF, the aperture is fixed to as close as F3.5 as possible (meaning for videos in low light needing F1.4, you should switch to MF to allow the aperture to be at F1.4) - EVF means you cannot manually focus the lens or check framing when the camera is off Both the A33/A55 and A560/A580 have magnified view when focusing. i wonder if the next rumored firmware will remove some of these cons away Added on September 12, 2010, 10:55 pm QUOTE(Mikeshashimi @ Sep 12 2010, 10:44 PM) mirror absolutely must not be touched as there is no way to clean it -for real? theres absolutely NO way? according to imaging-resources: The Sony A55 and A33 provide a cleaning mode allowing the sensor to be accessed, and the pellicle mirror itself can be manually raised to facilitate this, but Sony's documentation provides no advice on cleaning the pellicle mirror itself, simply noting that the surface of the mirror shouldn't be touched.

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 5,886 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: BM	@albnok if given a chance, would you replace your a700 n use a55 as your main gear? or you would go for a580 instead? This post has been edited by evilhomura89: Sep 12 2010, 11:26 PM

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 5,886 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: BM	QUOTE(destfull @ Sep 14 2010, 09:31 PM) Thinking to buy Nex.. either 3 or 5 Is 18-200 already out in Malaysia? Is fisheye converter included with 16f2.8? Any recommended shop to buy it cheap? To those Nex5 user - any serious differences other than 1080p? Depends on whether you prefer the material of NEX-3 or NEX-5 NEX-5 feels more solid and the grip is better defined compared to NEX-3 you should play around with both camera in sonystyle to feel the differences are you intending to take videos using the NEX? and would you like to have full HD 1080p? if yes then NEX-5 would be the better choice i doubt the fisheye converter is included
