Sony SLT-A55 Reviewed by Digital Camera Resource Page

"The SLT-A33 and A55 have a unique translucent mirror that allows light to hit both its 16 Megapixel CMOS and autofocus sensors at the same time. That means that you get full-time live view and fast phase detect autofocus for both still and video shooting. And, since the mirror doesn't need to flip out of the way, you can also shoot continuously at up to 10 frames/second, with the camera refocusing between each shot. "

Sony's camera division was pretty much struggling for the last half of the year, especially in the DSLR segment. The SLT-A55 is a camera that brings an old idea with new technology, and to me it does away with all the disadvantages of Sony's previous attempts at live-view, which were the absolutely horrible viewfinder, and the inability to do video. The review is mostly positive, and now it's up to the market to judge the product. Any Minolta/Sony users interested in this?
