Sony SLT A-55 - GPS Granny Challenge Test
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- In this video, we take a look at the Sony SLT-A55(bit.ly/SonyA55), which is more or less the same as the A-33 apart from the 16.2 megapixels, 10fps continuous burst and of course the in-built GPS. But what is the GPS like? We take a look by giving Kai a rather elaborate challenge.

No wonder why I like watching their review so much!
They really like Top Gear with all the ridiculous challenges and review style
I own myself sony a55 and it's pretty damn good camera, from the quality of the imagines, to the focus in the night, also it's small and really comfortable. I bought sony with the idea that, cannon and nikon are already all over, so I made a decision to give a try to sony and it didn't disappoint me a bit.
you shud win an award for best TV personality, even though this isnt TV, we can rebel!
@snupcho Lower noise deserves to mentioned, and thanks for telling how it compares to A33, but I was searching for its GPS capability which this review informed of very well.
Kai and Lok you doing such a nice work, i hope you get some more views. You realy deserve it ;-)
you have the best youtube channel from all!!
Nice to see some sony stuff on here finally.
@2point6x4 The only question remains. Why is the A55 head to head in image quality to the competitors even if only 70% of the light reaches the sensor. I guess its probably because Sony is non-stop developing and improving their sensors. Maybe its because the competitives are customers of Sony by buying their Sensors for their cameras. Not every Sensor but some of them are manufactured by Sony. D3000, D5000 D300 have Sony Sensors. And by the way the A55 was worldwide the camera of the year.
I really hope to see GPS built into future Canons. I'm always using my iPhone to get the GPS data when putting it into Aperture.
Wow. I've read a number of reviews that said the screen went black for between 30-50 seconds when shooting in continuous burst mode. Somebody had lied.
@trotty68 The camera takes really good shots (I've used it) but you can see that he was walking and often trying to hide while taking them, and I think that almost any camera would give the same results under those conditions.
DigitalRev TV You are like the "Top Gear" of camera reviews. Lol You just now need two witty co-hosts. BTW. What camera do you use to film?
Is it possible to shoot in a different frame rate than 25fps? It's a pain in the ass to work with both 25fps video and 60fps video in an editing video software. How do you change this?
this is dinesh patil from india thanks bro for each & every totorial of camera's
@GauravCoolG5 So... In the long run, this is not really a good sports camera, despite having the 10fps, and all that, there is 1/3 of a stop less light going to the sensor... I think I will stay with a normal DSLR.
Exactly. This is Hong Kong, it is jungle of building. GPS reception is awful in that environment. Tokyo had the same problem. So Japan launched a few of their own GPS satellites to fully cover their country, and especially for Tokyo.
@momoz88 And when you upload them to online albums which support geotagging, like flickr, the location will show up.
I hope you'll review the a65 and a77. And give Sony a chance!
Wow nice review and challenge. lovin' it
@henninggninneh Cool, I'm glad you found this video useful :)
@TheTraceurBoy same camera basically .. but a55 for more features and performs better
@GeorgeMaj15 "Why have a mirror at all if it's an electronic viewfinder?"
For "phase detection autofocus". Check out the Sony NEX cameras (or other Micro / EVIL / if you just want a "point and shoot"-sized camera with a large sensor and changeable lens.
Please review the new Pentax K5 and then the Fuji Finepix X100!
Love your reviews...
@2point6x4 Before writing things that are not true, please read all!! the reviews, test and forums. You will notice that the a55 has suberp image quality. The 70% has no impact on the imagequality. I have the a55 and very pleased with it. 1600Iso no grain at all. Try one your self, before you make wrong shot in the air. Canon and Nikon will follow. José Chaguaceda (Zwitserland)
Does the translucent mirror let the same amount of light to the sensor as a normal DSLR?
@AlexBrown52 nice cause im planning to buy one... my choices are t2i and a55
This is all starting to get very Top Gear.
This isn't a bad thing, per se.
You should shoot all your video with the camera you are reviewing. I guess then you would need two sample cameras though.
Just asking, since it's a translucent mirror, if there's dust or smudges on the mirror, will the image quality be affected?
@GOBbluthagain
10FPS at full resolution. Translucent mirror has it's advantages....
@agun17 And you miss 30% of light which is almost two stops...
I think he is terrible, and no Sony fan, that is overclear. The first 5 min. i had the impression that he would probably throw the camara away.
I have the a55 and think it is a masterpiece. This camera will do things and more! and has a imagequalty (with my 16-80Zeiss 24-70mmZeiss and 70-200G) that only the highend Nikon/Canon will do, and for what price!!!. Now i`m waiting for a fullframe Sony with the a55 inovativ features and technoligi. By the way the viewfinder is excellent!!
"Looks like the challenge was a success, naturally"
20 minute challenge, sun went down
@benschloz Hong Kong has a totally different legal and governmental structure than mainland China. (For example, there are lots of protests and groups like Falun Gong are legal.) In essence, Hong Kong is a lot like a "protectorate" because it has its own laws (and even people entering from China need to go through immigration control), but it is defended by the People's Liberation Army from mainland China.
One country, two systems.
Also, many mainland Chinese have found ways to access UA-cam.
I can't believe how much you trashed this camera Kai. It's a wonderful little camera. I wish you'd do a serious review for it, and give it a real non-bias chance.
@trotty68 thats why sony should stick to making Tvs ...
dont think much to the quality on the Slr cameras ..
How could you take a blurry picture every time?
Can you do a video comparing the Sony a55 and the Canon Eos 550d / t2i that would be really great if you could, thanks
I think Locke should have a go at a review ??
I have the Sony nex 5! Which is really good camera!! Is my favorite, but now I want to buy this camera!! I need the hot shoe! And I'm thinking about the a55!!!
Are Sony Alpha's good? I've never really tried one.
If it has a crummy view finder, why does it have a mirror at all? Why isn't this a point and shoot? Why have a mirror at all if it's an electronic viewfinder?
so....a33, a35, or a55? Which is the better camera? Help!
please compare the A55 and the EOS 550D!
@2point6x4 light amount = picture quality? .. not really .. why do they use ND filters then?
is the a55 worth the extra money ?
sounds like he doesnt like this camera & and the canon, iam so confused what one to buy
Can you compare the Sony a55 vs the canon 7D?
yea i agree, comparing this with the 550d will be a good video for ppl looking at DSLRs at around 1000 bucks, like me :)
@MrShooter1000 Okay. Well, it's Sony, so it's got to be a good one. And 10fps continuous burst. Wow.
@torquemenistan Yea, I'm surprised with the 10fps.... even with the a33's 7fps. The a330 is like 2.5fps... XD
Sony WINS: great camera
Kai FAILS: entertaining video, but that wasn't within 20 minutes :-)
@megalolz88 If you use google picasa or iphoto 09 on the mac u can view the location of ur photos on a map.
TopGear Photography?
Love it!! :P
what is the relevance of the GPS??
Canon is a so so technology compared to sony alpha definetely faster in auto focussing for low ight, and fast in moving object changing focus..
10fps burst ?!! no way .. not at full resolution right ?
maybe its doing 10fps when set at 3MP..
low light result was actually pretty good for a sony ...
@torquemenistan
Mmm I would say they have gotten pretty darn good. Sony is a smart company...
You should review some L glass canon lenses
@2point6x4 Hello, yes thanks for the hint. That is a promising camera that a77. 16pics a second! over 240000ISO!
Sony has announced, that it will also produce a full-frame SLR, with the Translucent Mirror and the other super features from the a55/a77. I`m waiting for it. The lcd viewer is awesome, you can see in 16:9 1/1 for instance ( in M= manually ) al your settings and the foto result, before you take the foto. Realy amasing and very pratical.
Nice regards. J.C
good stuff sick host
No 1080p anymore ?
what happened to the '20 minutes' challenge
it was more than 20....
@SilentEcho8 it says "car park passage way, please do not block" haha.
Oh calm down we're just testing out the bokeh alright! And yeah, more Sony. Curious how the a99 is gonna turn out, especially with uncompressed HDMI out.
20 minutes? Not even possible. Maybe more like 4 1/2 hours. Funny how it appeared to shift from midday to mid evening. Just an observation. Based on fact. Hooha!
Not really. The challenge said he had 20 minutes between shots so he's fine. Basic english comprehension, moron.
Shut up moron
@torquemenistan They're good enough for me...lol Actually I'm using the a330 since last year, and I think it's pretty good to start. Now I'm getting the a55 because of the video quality and everything...
All blurry photos why?
Everything in China looks lika a Construction site ;) Nice review btw, thinking of bying it myself :D
6:31 Sign read: "Carpark entrance, Please do not block."
@xxxXXXCH04XXXxxx why do you think so? cause i own one and it's a pretty good camera...especially for the price you pay.
yes indeed...this was a little bit more than 20minutes!! :P
Neverless good way of presenting the camera! Even though I would never ever buy a Sony! ;)
can u plz plz do a proper revue??!!??!!
Comparing this to the 550D... this is much easier to use, and much easier to bluff consumers... I've used both and I hate the way it limits controls... But the AF works so I gave it to my cousin for video, and we travel together
You should inform yourself a bit more about GPS. It's not the camera that provokes the bas accuarcy.
i thought the viewfinder on this camera is fantastic!!
hey kai can u please review nikon coolpix p510
AfterNoon to Night ....... 20 minutes?
Kai is so stylish :)
i can read chinese, two of them are not construction site, they are just a sign that tells you please don't block the way. ^^
nice Frog shoes man! lol
@ian9O lol, what does it say?
600d?
@tarantulaman1720 why?
@trotty68
shutter speed must be low, you trot
review some SONY LENSES! i dont think youve ever done one.
press 9 for "and it's bloody works too"
and "OH YEAH lots of OLD LADIES"
lol
@PulletSurprise It's a great thing =D
I totally agreed
Surely that wasn't 20 minutes, it got really dark in the end >< lol.
@eroz18 Go to the website "Panoramio"...for just one use.
Compare this to the 550d!
Better comparation would be to Canon EOS 600D
А что за музыка играет 3:53?
bah, is it only me who thinks that the alpha 55 is more or less an improved piont and shoot?
that seemed like way more than 20 min, it got dark too quickly XD
its strangely normal that he's photographing people's butts in the street :D
it seems like you hate reviewing the alphas...
I've been waiting for him to say "in the world" xD
