Sony Unleashes Alpha A57

Alpha A57

Sony released today its newest translucent-mirror DSLR-style camera – Alpha SLT-A57, that will substitute the Alpha SLT-A55. The 16mp, APS-C-sensored Alpha A57 will contend with two well-known midrange DSLR cameras, the Nikon D5100 and the Canon EOS Rebel T3i.

As an alternative, you have a 1.4-million-dot eye-level LCD viewfinder . . . → Read More: Sony Unleashes Alpha A57
