Sony's mid-range SLT with translucent mirror — 16.2MP APS-C with 10fps burst and GPS.

The Sony A55 (SLT-A55V) launched in 2010 as one of Sony's first SLT cameras — using Translucent Mirror Technology for continuous phase-detect AF during both stills and video. The 10fps burst with AF was class-leading for a mid-range camera.

The 16.2MP APS-C sensor delivers good image quality. The SLT mirror enables 10fps continuous shooting with AF — extraordinary for a mid-range camera of 2010. 15-point AF with 3 cross-type sensors. Full HD 1080p 60i video with continuous AF.

A-mount lens system. 3-inch articulating LCD. Built-in EVF at 1.15M dots. In-body SteadyShot. Built-in GPS for geotagging. 500g. WiFi not built in. The 10fps burst made headlines when launched.

Available used very cheaply. A-mount is discontinued. The 10fps burst was transformative at launch — proved SLT viability. Known for overheating during extended video. Any modern mirrorless is dramatically better. For existing A-mount lens collections.
