SLT or DSLR?

Mainly it's the viewfinder. If you've cut your teeth on optical viewfinders, then it can seem strange to go to an electronic one. The pellicle mirror design in the SLT also cuts about 1/3 a stop of light, so presumably you have slightly less wiggle room in very low light. But really, a 1/3 a stop is nothing, so it's a non-issue in real life.

The A57 is an excellent camera.
