Hi all, I just want everyone to know that this is a wonderful camera. I am a retired disabled professional film photographer who wanted to use my Minolta film camera lens collection on a digital camera , so I bought a Sony Alpha camera. This camera works wonderful with my Minolta "AF" lenses. The features on the camera will get you real close to a professional level for image quality. The auto focus works great. The auto shutter speeds and f stops puts you right in the ball park for exposure. I have not had it for very long so as with any different camera anyone would use it takes some time to sort through all the features and settings and decide which ones are best for your style of photography. There is a lot of information on the internet about these cameras. My comment is it is well worth the buy for the cost, and additional lenses are not that expensive. I hope this helps with any ones decision on a purchase of one of these. Happy shooting.Read full review

I am an armature photographer and purchased this camera as an upgrade to my Sony A230. The camera is very simple to use, whether it using the preset or manual settings. The picture and video quality is great. The only negative I have is the battery life, good for only about 350 shots.

I have had an autofocus 500mm Sony lens, but it took too long to lock on and focus when you are photographing moving people, etc. The Alpha A55 makes the lens focus almost instantly. A great camera.

I wanted movie capability so I upgraded from the Alpha A380. I also love the ability to rotate and twist the LCD to just about any position desired. I use the A55 with my wide range of Minolta Maxxum lenses and now I'm back into photography as a hobby after a multi-year hiatus.

I ordered this to replace my other SLT-A55 which stopped working after having it for over 7 years. Great camera! I love that I can see the exposure and what the photo will look like before taking it.
