Eventual problem

I've had this camera for almost two years. Yesterday it just cut out on me. I've read that other users had this problem resulting in a costly repair. I love the camera but I was expecting more life out of it before I had any problems.

Great Package Deal

Purchased to upgrade to an APS-C sensor camera. Far preferred the DSLT approach to an outdated flipping mirror. Lens is a great all around zoom from wide angle to long telephoto. Battery life is a small challange, but bought a package of 2 spare batteries and a travel charger for a trip to Italy. Worked great. One in the camera, one spare, one charging. AF challanged at full zoom, but easy to address by focusing closer then zooming out, which AF always held. Used different settings to take the same pictures, had a very high success percentage with that approach.

easy to use and gets a pretty good photo

very fast focus and shutter. great all in one lens. auto focus is great for shooting video but camera will overheat very fast 2-3 mins, short clips is great. 10fs will not miss anything. Be sure to buy extra battery and car charger, cuz batter life sucks

good camera, very short battery life

This set is very good for traveling. However, 2 sony batteries are not enough for a day trip. VDO recording is interrupted due to overheating after 5 minutes shooting. Don't buy it if you want to shoot lots of VDOs.

About Sony SLT-A55

Capture the decisive moment with the alpha 55V, Sony's top-of-the-line Translucent Mirror Technology DSLR. Now you can focus and shoot simultaneously for fast, precise performance. And because the mirror never moves, the time needed to raise and lower the mirror is eliminated. This all helps continuous shooting up to 10 frames per second, complete with continuous auto focus. Auto focus is also visibly faster in Live View and HD Movie modes. There's also built-in GPS photo tagging that lets you map your memories on your compatible computer.

The long-telephoto Sony zoom lens provides high magnification and a broad 14x zooming range in compact, lightweight design that makes it easy to carry-and its 35mm-equivalent range of 27mm wide-angle to 375mm telephoto excels at capturing faraway objects, outdoor performances, complex scenery and crisp close-ups.
