Got this camera a week ago, with 18-200mm lens and 55mm macro. So far I can say that this is the best camera I have ever held in my hands!
Good review btw.
Nice unboxing Dave. I've been doing a lot of research into this camera so I was pleasantly surprised to see you do an unboxing. Can't wait for the full review! Did you purchase this camera or did it get sent for review?
Actually this is the best unboxing video I've seen.
great work man
@KZ118 Good choice of camera you made there. Thanks for the comment.
@shuksmaster Good to hear, thanks for commenting.
@Classified978 Cool. Thanks for watching.
@kzone272 No, there is no input on the camera. The battery is charged outside the camera and I think you can get a higher rated one from Sony. Videos are limited to about 9 minute segments anyway.
@Dunitah No, the heat is people using it for long bursts of continuous shooting. This is not a pro-level camera. I have used it for a about an hour on/off 10fps photos and it hasn't overheated.
@Noobstate Well, both are superb, the A55 introduces some innovative and handy new features. The 10fps is superb too.
@JimmyJazzReviews I think you answered it spot on.
This is the best unboxing video I have seen. I am going to buy a sony SLT-A55
@SUPERSS90 This is a very good camera from Sony, one of their best.
Have a great day yourself!
Very good, informative video.
@PepitoIngles taking AA has its advantages, the new Pentax K-r can take both. For me, I would just charge and carry a spare.
Awesomage unboxing Dave, looks like such a swish camera! Sony wizzbang features - classic! Looking forward to your review, I've always wanted an SLR :) :)
@LockwoodKatie I couldn't stop playing with this last night, really neat piece of kit.
sony picked up the orange colour!! unique always!
@ThatKidHarrison You can use SD cards.
@MrIgorTV TBH, I purchased this one.
i also bought a bag for this camera that has alpha on it, two aditional lens and one more battery. i think it is much better than anything else
Hello, the only DSLRs to offer that at the moment are Nikon (perhaps D3100 or D3200 which is out soon), they use contrast detect AF so is kinda slow, but OK. The other option is a Sony SLT like the A57 which uses fast phase detect AF, mush faster but not quite as good a camera with regard to video results. For true AF the only option is a video camera.
@trotty68 This will be on the channel soon.
@WorkTightProductions This offered some really innovative technology.
@RadicalEditing some of the editions of ACR will support the A55 raw files (.ARW) but the older ones do not. Either update from your edition of photoshop (HELP>Updates....) or download the free converter from Adobe which converts other raw files to .DNG which photoshop can use, or use the enclosed software with the Sony 'PMB' to adjust and convert your raw files from the camera then edit in photoshop as .jpg
Sorry if you knew most of this, better to say than not. Good Luck.
@Jeredin13 Thanks for your comment.
@LionHartTube yes.
Seems you movie button is angled up a little more than on my slt-A57...which is good..because every time i flip the screen down, grabbing the screen on the top right, I hit the movie button.
Thanks so much for watching.
it looks like a perfect camera
Ive seen a review of this camera. Looks great. The only feature i wish my 500D had was the continuous autofocusing in video mode.. Anyway, no Sony can beat Canon's quality!
@Chokoretokukki Thanks for your comment.
@Techfa For what use, photo or video?
@DestroyBoys Hard to say A55 is great for video and fast action photos, 550D is slightly better at video.
@ithree6mafia Thanks for watching.
@zakkyers Thanks for watching and commenting.
@swingking338 Not tested yet. Review next week.
@Noobstate 18 mp sensor on the 550D, highest resolution screen ever with 1020k dots, better grip and generally better build quality. HD video recording is the best in its class equivalent to the 7D. Although theres no autofocusing in video, the manual focus will enable u to make much more creative videos
do you have examples of your photos. Great review btw
i was thinking to buy my first DSLR, wondering which one I should go for A33, A55 or Canon 600D? any suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks
Very good review, if you can review the Sony SLT-A35. I believe it is not yet launched but I'm sure you have heard of it. Kindly upload a video review if you have it. Thanks.
@marquesbrownlee Hopefully not, my tests will sort out this question :)
Is it possible to buy an ac adapter for this camera so I could plug it in while shooting longer videos?
@kzone272 I would say about 90-120 minutes.
Thanks so much for the unboxing video. I've been waiting for one to surface. I'm gonna pick up the A33 within the week because I don't need the GPS, among the other features. I suppose I don't even need the A33, either. I just want it. :-)
@MIKEFROMDEVA I would say D3100 for purely photos, A55 for bit of photo and video.
I don't much care for how close the on/off switch is to the scroll dial . . .
Great unboxing btw. I can't wait for my a580 to release! ^_^
Dave, could you find out if there will be a battery grip available for this camera ?
@glbdmc Yes, especially in depth.
@trotty68 @trotty68 This is for my own interest in photography, the review is a bonus :) Yes, D7000 sounds amazing, I am hoping to review that too. £692.
fantastic video!!
@Alchodog Thanks.
Dope review
How much did it cost? If you don't mind me asking
@davomrmac Oh well I guess. Do you know how long the battery would last shooting video? Just a rough estimate?
hey dave, would you suggest this a55, or the canon 550d for action photography and small skateboarding/action sports video's.?
@AETrainingDavid97 Thanks for watching. Full review on the channel in two days. Some HD footage also just finished uploading.
im looking forward to your review ^^
Do DSLT good? because they say 30% of light is being reflected up and the sensor is not receiving 100% light..
Newbie question here- Can I use a regular SD card with the a55 or do I have to use a Sony Memory Stick? Thanks!
@djican Near.
What is the battery life like in this Camera with GPS on? Thankyou
Which is the best Nikon D3100 or Sony SLT-55??
Thank You
@stupid0rigami it'll be fine. you just have to use a slightly bigger diaphragm or get a lens that lets with better optics allowing more light to hit the sensor...
this may sound dumb but i was wondering what sequence this is? DVC- 1080i50?
Is Sony good SLR camera? I'm new to photography like to know Ty.
@ithree6mafia Well said, thanks for adding this.
i was thanking of geting the a55 or t2i but dont know what to get
What would you say is better Canon 550D or Sony A55? because sony has more features but the Canon has better build quality
What is the different between the a-33 and the a-55?
Can this camera be charged with the mini usb port ?
Sorry, I no longer have this to check.
