freddy manson : a55 is not NEX la.. and speaking of NEX.. NEX is also Alpha. it still retains the 'a' logo IINM.

ok will do

For 60D the wheel is not smooth compare to all the previous semi-pro series (10D~50D,7D,5D,1D and etcs) and the button is really weird to press on compare to 550D

The mode dial remain the same concept as 550D (Having lots of scene with Auto + PASM mode) and video mode you need to turned all the way from PASM mode dial which is annoying (It wasn't like Sony Alpha series where you can turn all the way 360 degree as you like) + they add the new features which make the dial to switch even harder : the lock button on the top of dial mode which u need to press it in order to turn the dial

60D may like 550D, in movie mode the mirror will flip down and raise up again every few minutes which is another annoying part unlike 7D and 5D Mk2 where they can lock the mirror up or last longer

So I'm really impress how well A55 can do, 60D mirror mechanism is really a frustration for me some how and need to take times to get used to it where Sony you can record it without flipping the bloody mirror (cause so much delay) and then only can pressing for record

wingster, I actually like having a mode dial which stops instead of letting you keep turning. Works great in the dark for going straight to M (or A, by rolling to M and turning two clicks back.)

I didn't know they added a dial lock. I have to agree it gets annoying.

nice british accent
but has a lansi attitude

he didn't mention anything about the EVF though

Hello all,

Am a new Sony user and a beginner in photography. Just got A55 from Uncle Chin.

Just a photo to share with my new A55 (50mmf1.8 lens)....

ooo..welcome to the club
i'm just tumpang here until i get a dslr
i'm still contemplating whether to get a55 or a580

lol.. u focusing at the edge of the basket (thing where u put the fork and chopstick) and the chili ?

A55 has the "Full Frame" feel IMO, although is electronic viewfinder but beginner might easily get used to it compare those user who have much familiar on OVF

A560/A580 has much tougher built and larger like the A550's as well too

wingster: quite agree about the feel of FF. haha... oh ya, went to klcc sonystyle on tuesday n when playing with a850. terpoison myself abit. haha... but then i still find no means of upgrading yet la. haha...

and something wanna clarify, minolta 70-210 f4 aka beercan is constant aperture?
