Sony Alpha 550 review

Dpreview has posted a detailed review of the Sony Alpha 550. They state:

“It’s almost impossible to make a blanket recommendation regarding this camera: serious photographers will be put off by the paucity of high end features and controls, beginners will be frustrated by the rather uninspiring results you often get when everything is left on auto.”
