Want to buy Sony Alpha DSLR-A550

[KALLIYAN]

Hi Guys!!! I am a professional camera man and I am currently working with one of the big banner studios of India. Anyway, I have got bored by using the same camera for much long years. Now I am planning for buying the brand new camera. I have Sony Alpha DSLR-A550 in my mind but bit confused to buy it. Please, Can anybody give me proper and detailed informations about it ?

the Alpha 550 has been made up of duo-tone body which is gunmetal gray top deck and a black rubber and plastic body. It has shiny black strip on the front of the grip which is an accent that also conceals the infrared sensor. Sony Alpha DSLR-A550 has bit odd grip as compared to other ALFAs, It is slim and not enough deep. And i would like to tel you that sloped area between the top and back is making it easier to have vision from more angles.

Sony Alpha DSLR-A550 is a better camera from the sony's cart. Actually the it is the Sony Exmor CMOS image sensor at the core of this camera. The dimensions of Sony Exmor CMOS image sensor are 23.4 x 15.6mm which almost equivalent to APS-C film. Its sensor has a resolution of 14.2 megapixels and yields 3:2 aspect ratio. This camera can create images of dimensions up to 4,592 x 3,056 pixels. In addition to this it provides two more resolutions below to this is 3:2 modes of 3,344 x 2,224 and 2,288 x 1,520 pixels.

Exmor image sensor and BIONZ image processor are both responsible for such features in Sony DSLR A550. Sony Alpha DSLR-A550 generates the great size of images because this camera uses sensor noise reduction at each photocell location and analog-to-digital conversion operated by step noise reduction procedure at a same time. And processing chrominance and luminance noise separately. Which results in to wide sensitivity range for a camera.

Sony Alpha A550 is provided with the nine-point TTL phase detection autofocusing system. This camera can also focus in low lights because of AF-assist lamp. At the time of displaying the live view image on the camera display screen it uses the standard phase-detection AF system. Quick AF Live View mode has been dubbed by the Sony from Olympus EVOLT E-330 digital SLR but wiht some additional technologies.
