Sony A55 first impressions + my new flickr!
CLICK ON EACH IMAGE TO SEE THE FINE RESULTS!
I recently bought the Sony A55, since there is a sale going on for $50 off original price so you only pay $800 with the lens kit. There are also plenty of other Sony cameras on sale atm. My first impression is simply like DAMN this camera is beast. This camera was also named Time’s top 50 inventions of 2010, and also has a Gold award from DP Review.
i really never had a change to work with a DSLR before so this is my first one, and i was blown off on how well the image quality was from some of the pictures i took today. so check these out.
Below are some of the very detailed speces / professional reviews done on this camera so you wont have to read my noobish crap,

Strong key points of this camera; mainly features that blows away the competition out there.
- SLT, which means, translucent mirror technology
-fast shutter speed 1/4000
-10 fps continuous shooting
-GPS tags your images for flickr etc.
-super fast auto focus, faster than any other dslr ive got to play with soo far,
-live view autofocus , havent see this technology on other cameras before
-sensor-based image stabilization system, which means every lens becomes a stabilized lens.
-built in sweep panorama mode.
-1080p recording, with full time auto Focus
-small compact / solid build quality
-rotatable large lcd screen, so its easier to shoot on many awkward angles etc.
My New flickr, all my future images and traveling stuff etc will be uploaded there.

i just found out the figures in my photo are a bit dusty, gonna properly clean them next time lols
The kit lens is one of the most versitile lens you can have esp if yours is the 18 -105/135/200 ^^ As for what other lens to get, I’ll say shoot more and try to see what u like shooting and at what focal lengths you tend to shoot at. ^^
@ Ex14, im looking to get a macro lens or maybe a prime lens soon, i have like tons of figures i can take photos off @-@ lols btw nice flickr
