Thank you, I got a good camera! There is an additional exposure control, which is exactly what I wanted. All buttons are conveniently located. The flip screen is also a plus. Minus - faded photos in cloudy weather. But, probably, the whole world without the sun is like this ... Thank you! I'm happy!

I had a Sony A500 and had no problems with it for more than 10 years, was used mainly for action Photography ,Downhill Mountain Bike and Water sports in sometime very trying conditions Have every faith that the Sony A550 body I purchased will perform as equally well

Excellent product, great for the professional and amateur alike, east to use producing high quality images.
Sony have really carved out a niche for themselves in the DSLR market. The 5 series of the Alpha range provide all the tools a serious Pro-amateur needs, providing both auto and full manual controls.

As an Artist, I needed an entry level DSLR for Working Up Paintings. The 300 range was my first choice, at about £350. Sony's price of the 550 being £750 seemed to put it out of my range. Finding the A550 on ebay for £500 was the obvious way to go. As it has more features to learn in the future (saves trading in when you need more functions,) It does the jobs automatic for the novice, with most functions of the pro' cameras 700 series up avalable for when you get confident. I found a good review at http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sonyalphadslra550/ The cameras size sits beetween the ranges 300-700 and feels like a quality DSLR, with one of the best lcd screens available. In short, if you want an entry level pro camera, this is the one.
