I intend to become an Alphanatic or Aplhanian whichever applicable lah... I went to Sony Style at The Curve and testing out A580 & A55 last saturday and I'm undecided which model to go. Each has pros & cons... A580 - Nice grip....felt comfortable & solid immediately but could be tiring after a while because it's heavier especially if I'm into traveling or wondering around for photos. - Somehow I like the control better than A55, don't know why? - comfortable OVF. A bit dim and only 95% coverage. Still ok to me but I need to go back to see if whether ISO info there or not..... Anyone? - No AF in video but this is not a concern as I own a Full HD videocam also from Sony.... : - 7 fps is good enough and I think I won't be using it that often.... - IQ is said to be better than A55 after 200% cropping!! Not an issue in real world. - Marginally more expensive than A55... - Better battery life!! A55 - Grip Ok but not as comfortable as A580 but very nice to carry around. - Nice EVF....brighter than A580 OVF!! 100% coverage!! Dark when ISO turn to i.e. ISO 100. When panning, can see some "rainbow" effect but this is not a problem for me lah. - Efficient video AF although is all automatic. Nice thing to have lah.... - 10 fps is very good. Also nice thing to have lah.... - IQ is said to be lower than A580 after 200% cropping!! Also not an issue in real world. - Marginally cheaper than A580... - Extra batteries required!! (counter with extra batt about the same price as A580) - Awkward when pair with external flash!! Big head small body!!! As you can see, video & the burst rate are not the concerns here...I'm more into landscape, portrait & candid and will venture into Studio photography. I will take the kit lens 18-55mm SAM & 55-200mm SAM first and may get the 50mm 1.4 or 1.8 for portrait & 70-200(or G may be) later when budget permitted. As for landscape probably Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 fast lens. My initial model was A55 and I read reviews that A55 has studio setup problems and need to work "around" to get the desire results. But I'm not sure about A580 studio setup but I think it's the same as A550. I read that A55 will not have a vertical grip. A55 also has compatibilities issue with Sigma lens and must make sure A33/55 sticker must be on the box before purchase (not an issue but need to be extra alert). Heat issues also another problem I read in forums for A55 in video and stills!!! But I have not experience it when I done the testing (20 minutes). Anyone of you ever experience the heat issue? Due to the above, with all the pros & cons (both models are really good!!), I think I will likely to choose A580 over A55. I need a camera that can last me longer. I think I can work around with the available kit lens for better pictures and will budget for primes, telephotos and studio strobes later. I know investing in glass is better in a long run. But then again, reading forums make me intoxicated (too much poisons) and need a urge to find cure!! By the way, all my friends & enemies are into Canikon & some Olympus!! Their Sonys are all P&S type. I still keep my SLR Yashica FX3 2000 & kits. Bought a Sony DSC V1 P&S & HD videocam few years back and now itching for my first DSLR!!! Now making my choice, Sony DSLR A580..... is this the camera for me or A55? With all the sifus & veterans here, what say you? : Thanks in advance!!! the ISO info won't be in the OVF unfortunately the over heating is not an issue. its not like you will be video recording 20 minutes straight right? you have your camcorder for that purpose. like hazril said, buy the one which feels more comfortable in your hands. both are equally good cameras. QUOTE(8tvt @ Oct 25 2010, 11:06 AM) can give some guidelines? in the lens itself no different? the serial number is on the lens itself. i forgotten how's the difference already. >< maybe can ask uncle sifu cjlai.

It doesn't exist on the Tamron website.

Just need to preset before taking pics. it's still suit my style (slow & may be steady stylelah). On the heat issue, I thought so....cause I've played for 20 minutes with no heat warning message... Thanks albnok for the finer infos on the iso, video and mirror things.... To counter the mirror effect on sharpness of image, I guess I need to play around with the MLU or MPF with the timer for delicate photo. Or is there any other method to do this? yes, another method is to buy Zeiss glass. Sure sharp until bleed.
