Sony DSLR-A550

It wasn’t so long ago that Sony took over imaging giant Minolta, best known for their professional grade cameras. Sony took that elegant Minolta frame, combined it with Sony’s top-notch camera technology and the outcome was the Sony Alpha range, distinctly recognized by the letter ‘a’ on the camera body. If you wish to indulge in top-notch image taking with as little setting manipulation to get that high-grade photo, then the Sony DSLR-A550 is the perfect camera for you.

The DSLR-A550 has a 3-inch LCD screen that lets you determine what your final shot will look like. This screen can tilt to about 90 degrees, giving a wide eye for focus and zoom. It has a clear resolution of 14.2 megapixels that will allow you to enlarge or make the image smaller and it will still be detail-packed. When taking pictures in a place with more than one person, then you can use the face detection technology along with the smile shutter feature. These two features will enable your camera to pick up the smiling faces of your desired subjects and offer you a crystal clear image.

There is also a feature known as eye start focus. Normally cameras take some time to start up hence there is a chance you may miss taking that picture you really wanted. This feature ensures that from the second put the camera to your eye you will be able to start clicking away and not miss a moment. Steadyshot is a feature that helps stabilize photo images. This means that if the camera was shaking or not steady, then this feature will allow you to still have clear images. Sony DSLR-A550 has two features known as CMOS image sensor and BIONZ processing. CMOS image sensor will allow for low intensity processing of pictures of low quality and the BIONZ works with CMOS sensor to help reduce noise and up the shooting speed.

There is a new feature known as HDR Auto mode. What it does is that it will merge two exposures taken at high shutter speeds and merge them to bring forth a clear image. The high shutter speeds allows this camera to take as high as seven frames per second, which means that you will not miss a memorable image. The Sony DSLR-A550 comes with an extra set of macro lens for more precise images and clearer shots no matter how near or far the subject may be. The easy to use menu will let you choose shooting and lighting modes that make your pictures clearer for way less hassle.

This Sony camera comes with a Memory Stick slot that will allow you to add up to 8 gigabyte extra memory that will let you shoot away without fear of low storage capacity. The rechargeable lithium battery will allow for uninterrupted power supply no matter where you may be. It is a light 579 grams considering its many features and added accessories. The sleek black colour adds on to its unique style and design.
