Hiya Tim. I'm in Oz too, S.A. I see your camera collection is growing! Can't say that I would trust much from Cash Converters! However, I can see the appeal for the A55, camera of the year when it ...

Hiya. My Zeiss 16-80 is on my A55 98% of the time. A fantastic lens.

Impressive

I've just experimented some more with my 16-80mm lens at different focal lengths and comparing f3.5 to f8 (my len's 'sweet spot'). i I adjusted speed to maintain the same exposure levels and,...

Picture 21 in the gallery (the escalator) has a very broad DOF though the caption has 2.8 aperture? I would have expected a much narrower zone of focus at this setting.

Hiya. I think they are well detailed for the shot settings. I must try more higher ISO and wider aperture shots with my A55.

That is very good, not your injury, but the reminder that we could probably rent camera to try b4 we buy. Thanks for the reminder and 'get well soon'.

For my Sony sensor cleaning I use a wet swab first followed by a dry one soon after to mop up any streaks. It took me 7 attempts to clean one stubborn patch last week, using the same two swabs!

I recently received my daughters 'hardly used' A55 camera and lenses. Good timing as my dear very used A55 is showing it's age now cosmetically and mechanically. (The lens to mount contact is ...

Hiya. I often use the DOF button on the front of my A55 to give me a good indication of, well, DOF!

Hello William. When I disabled and assembled my A55 last year, checking out memory card locking, a pair of tweezers was essential to gently work the ribbon cables back in place - ensuring that ...

Really nice shots at surprisingly high isos. Well done to you and the A68.

Superb

Lovely

Yes. My old faithful A55 has the occasional poor contact too. I may not fiddle with it as my daughter is passing to me her hardly used A55 this Xmas. Yahoo! I could carry about 2 A55's with 2 ...

I would say the 16-80mm is a fantastic overall walk-about lens for many alpha cameras. I love mine! My first upgrade to the Sony kit 18-55mm lens was a used Minolta 35-70mm. This was relatively ...

Is the 5th one from the left an A55? Certainly shows the size comparisons, and potential  associated 'lugging around' nuisance! You must have been worth 'a few Bob' once!

Hello DutchMM. Lovely pic that. You wrote that you couldn't get a RAW when using sunset scene mode. I've just taken a shot with my A55 in sunset mode and definitely have a RAW (+jpg)!

Funnily enough, I've just bought (last week) my first 3D blu-ray DVD's to show off on my Sony TV. Just after I bought this TV, Foxtel (Australia) ceased their 3D channel. However, I occasionally ...

Wow! Great photos at such high ISO values! Impressive.
