Introduction
Just a couple of years ago it still seemed to everyone that in the world of cameras almost everything was invented and invented. And for ordinary photographers in general there are two types of equipment: compacts and DSLRs. And just then the first mirrorless cameras came into the world unexpectedly ... The fact that you can come up with something else, something new, something revolutionary - could not be believed even stronger. Actually, nothing new was invented. Just Japanese engineers from Sony remembered the once existing mirrors with a translucent non-rising mirror and decided to experiment a bit in this direction. So two fundamentally new cameras were born - Sony SLT-A33 and SLT-A55. At first glance - typical SLRs. But in reality these are cameras of a new class. After all, the sight in them is carried out using an electronic, not an optical viewfinder. And at the same time, fast and accurate phase autofocus is constantly working (and even in video shooting mode). As soon as the cameras appeared in Russia, we tested the older model - Sony SLT-A55.
