This dSLR has good features and good image quality but scores just 3/5 at TechRadar.

"Sony isn't one to be left behind when it comes to the latest crazes. Its NEX cameras were released earlier in the year in response to other manufacturer's compact mirrorless camera offerings. Now the company has moved to introduce a new genere of SLR-style cameras with electronic viewfinders.

This is where the Sony A55 body fits in, being an electronic viewfinder camera that can accept the range of Sony Alpha-mount lenses. It's not quite the same as the offerings you'll find from Panasonic digital cameras, Samsung et al, as it's not a mirrorless camera."
