Just Posted: Our review of the Sony DSLR-A580

Just Posted: Our review of the Sony DSLR A580. With all the progress Sony has been making with its mirrorless and 'translucent' mirror technologies, it's easy to overlook the company's continued development of its two-sensor liveview DSLRs. The A580 is the latest (and possibly last?) in a line that started with the promising but quirky A350. The A550 was a big step forwards for these feature-packed enthusiast DSLRs and the A580 takes this progress further with the addition of Sony's excellent 16MP sensor. Offering all the usual Sony processing cleverness - such as sweep panorama, in-camera HDR and multi-shot noise reduction - the only apparent cloud in its sky is the existence of the less expensive, full-time liveview sister model, the SLT A55. So, with an in-house competitor threatening to steal the A580's liveview crown, can its more conventional DSLR design offer the best of both worlds?

I just wonder why this review didnt indicate the strength of this camera sensor as it is one of the best sensors that sony made! this is shown at the DXO Labs mark.
if you argue that the same one has been used at the SLT-A55, well we all know that A580 doesnt include that thin glass that in a way or other alter the light that hit the sensor.
