its funny to see how much energy people use to break down other peoples preference of camera....i bought my a550 becaus i wanted a not uber expensive slr camera good enough for sports and if i want to take pictures of anything els i just use my zeiss lens :D .i.. (@canikonfanboys)
@parabellumantonio i prefer the cameralab review....Sony’s also done its homework and unlike some cameras which simply jump on the bandwagon of fashionable features, the Alpha A550 and its more affordable sibling, the A500, actually target a genuine desire of many photographers. In a word: speed.....
@phototechluke Well i guess that is your opinion. A Camera and it's lens is in the end only as good as the photographer itself. And comparing Lenses with Cars? ^^
Lenses cost more the older they are, they don't get cheaper.
@phototechluke dude, Pentax, Nikon Canon and then the lousy Sony and then the even worse Samsung.
I just don't see why a electronics manufacturer gets it's nose into buisiness that is based on precision and the dedicated love of making Lenses and not like sony a massproducer of almost everything that has a curcuit. Next they will be building satalites...
Do you guys even have real lenses that own in quality? You can have all the so good camera, without a lens it's useless...
In the past Sony was good but now...
Yeah i´m Canikon Fanboy =)

@phototechluke okay, now thats just bullshitting me....Carl Zeiss Lenses is just a brand name. It doesn't make the Lenses any better.
