A550 in sunset..

[Janik_dk]

I grapped the oppitunity to take some beautiful sunset shots with my new A550 yeasterday.



A flower.. (ISO 200 - 1/15 - F 3,5)



A flower with some flash (ISO 200 - 1/160 - F 3,5)



View over lake.. I sort of like this little over-exposed/blown-out effect (ISO 400 - 1/160 - F 2,8)



View over lake again - adding some flash to the foreground gave a nice effect i think (ISO 400 - 1/160 - F 5,6)



View over lake zoomed in on the grass. ( ISO 400 - 1/160 - F 5,6)



View over lake without flash in foreground (ISO 400 - 1/160 - F 5,6)



Lanscape, with DRO Level 4 - impressive feature. (ISO 400 - 1/50 - F 5,0)



Beautyful view - i like the way the sky changes colour.. (ISO 400 - 1/15 - F 8,0)



Bridge.. Using the AUTO HDR feature - Ok result! (ISO 800 - 1/15 - F 4,5)



View over lake for the last time (ISO 800 - 1/80 - F 4,5)

Overall i am highly happy with my new camera - The new features as better DRO and AUTO HDR is quite usefull and the IQ is wonderful

Very nice photos. I am by no means an expert, but they do look nice to my eye and no noticeable banding at all. Are you outside the US? So far I have not seen the A550 available in the States just yet...

Nice pictures from your A550 and to think you did these without MLU is just amazing. I was starting to think without MLU it was imposible to take good pictures. I am glad to see you are taking pictures with your camera unlike others who sit theirs by the computer and ***** about this and that.

what's the A550 like with clear blue sky? does it have the same noisy red channel like most other Alpha's?

Thanks for some pleasing low-light pictures. How easy is the A550 to focus in low light? There's no AF illuminator? Do you miss that, or does it lock on nicely?

thanks

Thank you - i am outside the US - in Denmark - and my A550 is japanesse import (Grey market)

There are some noise - but it's not a massive problem for me.

It focuses better than my old a300 - I also had the HVL 42 mouted on it (which has AF Light). It has no big troubles with focusing in normal lights. (without AF light).
