Product Information
Capture the decisive moment with the world's first Translucent Mirror Technology DSLR. The SLT-A33 a DSLR camera features professional-grade continuous shooting at 7 fps and visibly faster, more accurate focus in Live View and HD Movie modes. Compose your shots on either the LCD monitor or electronic viewfinder with 100% framing accuracy. Advanced features including Auto HDR, Sweep Panorama and 15-point Auto Focus make it dramatically easier to get the best shot.

Expanded Product Features
  • Unprecedented image capture
    Unlike other DSLRs that can either shoot or focus with the speed and precision of Phase Detection AF, the SLT-A33 is the world's first DSLR that can do both simultaneously. Featuring an unprecedented Translucent Mirror, the α33 DSLR camera is able to feed both the image sensor and the Phase Detection at the same time.
  • Professional class shooting speeds
    By transforming the fundamental way DSLR cameras work, you'll experience best-in-class speed, up to 7 fps continuous shooting at full 14.2-megapixel resolution with exposure fixed at the first frame. This is made possible by a Translucent Mirror that always stays in place.
  • Astonishing HD video capture
    Experience a revolutionary breakthrough in video capture when shooting fast-moving subjects. The α33 is the world's first camera with the precision of Phase Detection auto focus (AF) for HD Movies. Translucent Mirror Technology not only enables full-time phase-detection AF for photos, it also delivers the same speed and precision for Full HD movies.
  • Spectacular resolution and detail
    Featuring a large 14.2-megapixel Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor, you'll achieve beautiful image quality during both still-photo and movie shooting. Rich tonal gradation and highlight/shadow detail are assured by the BIONZ image processing engine which supports high-speed continuous shooting, advanced digital compositing, and Full HD movie recording.
  • Advanced still shooting features
    Expand your creativity with advanced imaging features including built-in Auto HDR, which captures more scene contrast by combining the best highlight detail from one shot and the best shadow detail into one unbelievable shot. 3D Sweep Panorama Mode automatically captures expansive landscapes and lets you view pictures on your compatible on 3D TV.
  • Versatile shooting options
    Use both the LCD monitor and Electronic Viewfinder to compose your shots. An all-electronic design enables a wide range of shooting information to be displayed in the finder and on the LCD monitor. Both provide a what-you-see-is-what-you-get preview of white balance, focus, depth of field, exposure and 100% framing accuracy, plus on-screen displays.

This is my first DSLR camera and I love it. It is very easy to use and the people at Big Easy Camera were a delight. They helped me to understand what I needed and really gave me a great insight into what I would need which wasn't much when you consider everything that was included with it. I have only had it for a week and I'm still playing with it but so far I am very impressed. Thank You Sony for a great product and thank you Big Easy Cameras for your wonderful service.

After researching SLR Cameras I decided on the A33. I got a pretty good deal it was used but in perfect condition . I like how it can be a simple Point & Shoot or a sophisticated Digital SLR. I have had it for a few weeks and took it on vacation to try it out and love it . Would I buy another YES .I wanted to move up from the little point and shoots to get better pictures and for me it is perfect. Here is a video of some of the pictures I took with it they untouched meaning no color rendering of fix's they are raw just as I took them.

I really love this camera, quick focus, 7 shoots per second, is fine for me.
The only feature i change was free to configure for VIDEO, aperture, exposure, i like full control.
The vivid colors are amazing.

The battery seems to go down pretty fast. You definately need more than just the 55mm lens that comes with the camera if you want to do any pics with detail from say 20ft plus. All and all I'm quite happy and would recommend this camera to anyone.
