even with the translucent mirror, the video quality still lost to Canon 550D base on dpreview
don know how they rate it....
I think is the color accuracy and noise level on high ISO
Like NEX series, the Sony A55 has weaker performance on low light video shooting and little in accurate (color accuracy) compare to 550D and also it is a little bit noisy on high ISO too.
On the other hand people who likes video would highly argue for full manual control, where A55 doesn't have it.
Now there was 2 kinds of video camera option ...
1 - is the full manual control which is much interested on videographer for more special video shooting effect (EOS 550D)
2 - is the fast AF without full manual control which is much interested on someone who take video as a bonus or an option (Sony A33/A55)
People who just take photograph would just don't care about this but in this competition for Hybrid DSLR/EVIL/DSLT era, video takes another new important role for sure as nowadays videography by using DSLR becomes widely popular.
