Sony is primarily associated with EVIL or even compact cameras. When you think of this brand, it is inevitable to think of its magnificent mirrorless cameras. However, the brand also has its SLR cameras, not negligible and for different types of users (and pockets), do you want to meet them? Now, before continuing, you should know that they have a peculiarity. The so-called Sony SLR cameras are SLT ( Single-Lens Translucent ) cameras which translated comes to say that its mirror is translucent and does not move. Consequences? As the mirror does not have to move, they are much faster for action photography. They also work very well to record video. Are you looking for a new camera? Are you sonysta ? So this article that I update today with the current Sony SLR cameras interests you .
