Sony A55 and A33 Translucent Mirror DSLRs: smaller, faster & continuous focus

Chris Davies, Aug 24th 2010 Discuss [0]

It's not just the A580 and A560 that Sony is unveiling today; the company also has a pair of new DSLRs using its Translucent Mirror Technology, the 16.2-megapixel A55 and 14.2-megapixel A33, to show off. The new system trims things down by using a fixed, translucent mirror that splits the optical pathway between the main image sensor and a separate phase-detection autofocus sensor. Not only does that allow for a smaller camera, but it also means live image previews and phase detection autofocus are available all the time, both via the viewfinder and the adjustable 3-inch LCD display.

Periscope Camera Extends the Lens and Bends the Frame of Creativity

Evan Selleck, Aug 18th 2010 Discuss [4]

Let's face it. There's not a lot of differentiation between cameras. Amongst the point-and-shoots, and amidst the masses of DSLRs, they generally all look alike. There's nothing wrong with that, especially if you start looking at all the color options of those point-and-shoots, but we need something different! And, right on schedule, we've got a DSLR that's unique enough to grab our attention. Read The Full Story

Sony A33 & A55 Pellix DSLRs Pictured, No Release Date Provided

Evan Selleck, Aug 18th 2010 Discuss [0]

Is it ironic when a rumored camera gets a pre-release photoshoot of its own? If so, the new Sony A33 and A55 Pellix DSLRs are steeped in it, because a few photos have just broken cover over at Photo Rumors. They show off the camera's slanted design (if you look hard enough, you can see the shoulders are slightly sloped), as well as that LCD screen able to detach from the camera's body, and swing down.
