Sony SLT-A58 - a camera with a semitransparent zarkal, which replaced the model SLT-A37 . Thus, the manufacturer left only one model in the entry-level segment instead of two: SLT-A37 and SLT-A57 . Now the line of SLR cameras is in full order, and the choice for a beginner has become less time-consuming.
The main innovation of the SLT-A58 is the Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor with a high resolution of 20 megapixels. The new BIONZ image processor allows you to take photos with a high level of detail and low noise, providing a wide range of ISO sensitivity from 100 to 16000. Sony's previous 16-megapixel sensor has proven itself well in a number of cameras. In our test, we’ll try to find out if the new 20-megapixel image sensor really got better?
The main features of the model:
- new 20-megapixel CMOS sensor format APS-C;
- design with a translucent mirror;
