Sony A55 is main Alpha series lar not NEX

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

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

I have tested A33 and A55 using Standard Memory Stick Mark II (not the high speed HX-Pro memory card) in both 3fps,6fps,7fps(A33),10fps(A55)

A33 - 7 frames (max buff) in RAW takes 20~25 seconds for recovery

A55 - 20 frames (max buff) in RAW takes 35~45 seconds for recovery

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Compare to A550 it cost around 20 seconds for recovery 19 frames RAW in 7FPS so I think DSLT writing speed is quite slower IMO

If using the High Speed memory card would be much faster as my memory card is quite slow IMO (average 10~15mb/seconds where the HX-Pro is 30mb/seconds)

But doesn't it very easy to get overheated? Especially when burst shooting + record movie xD

What I need is to know that how long this camera will get overheated when SSS is off?

Yeah macro gang xD ....

After so many decision, I'm decide to stay at Sony line and going for smaller A33/A55 system ...

Too bad I didn't buy it earlier ... most of my video assignment had been done by my classmate (the 550D armys = =)

Sony and Minolta 50mm Macro F2.8 has awesome bokeh and sharpness in F2.8 compare to 50mm F1.4 (although they serve in different purposes)

Some people may felt weird to serve as macro but for me which used for almost 3 months and I have to said this is a great macro+portrait combo lens I ever seen !

I got myself (Sony 50mm Macro) in an insane (cheap) price ... maybe you can try your luck because the lens is very rare

L lens is good for wild life or extreme whether photography xD ... and it's like the Carl Zeiss price leh D:

I'm still going with both system later on but lazy to invest Canon lenses at first because I have a great Sony lens right now xD + EVF really give me the "FF Feel" I want although it wasn't so good as OVF

Because Sony Built-In IS does not have the actual effect (image stabilizer) on the viewfinder but on the sensor so you will felt shaky when you use long focal lenses

On A33/A55 it is a different case because of the EVF? I found it does stabilize the shake when you half-press the shutter ...

Not so interest on 70-200G F2.8 because I believe will cost like a bomb on renting fee xD

Nowadays DSLR market, video mode not only hook photographers but video + cinematographers as well, take Canon 5D Mk.II as a good example which it has being used by several motion pictures (like Avatar, Iron Man II and so on.)

In fact there are only very tiny little numbers of VDSLR users who mainly uses for cinematography more than photography and what Sony wants to do is to protect its high-end model video equipment market compare the others so its DSLR/DSLT model would take less video options but at sooner this method will no longer works as most people would choose more flexible video DSLR in several aspect (because it get videographers attentions for purchase as well)

Sony NEX VG-10 is the not perfect either for the price tag (In Malaysia it is seriously ridiculous) and video bit rate quality, people rather pick Canon 5D MK2 or APS-C model with loads of prime rather than it but for those who do documentaries would like it some how (because long play features?)
