My Review 

I previously had a Sony DSLR A100 and enjoyed using it, but not nearly as much as I love my Sony A55. I have a 16-105mm lens that I keep on the camera, and have a 50mm for still shots (flowers, portraits, etc.)

The shutter speed is so fast, and enables me to catch shots that I would have missed with my old camera.

We travel frequently and I also love to take lots of photos of my garden, and this camera exceeds my needs.

Camera "pros" 

Shutter speed, HD video, size, panorama function

Camera "cons" 

Can't think of any

Is this camera easy to use? 

How is the image quality in good lighting? 

How is the image quality when using the flash? 

Do you like the camera's style and feel? 

How is the camera's LCD screen? 

Do you feel like the camera is/was a good value? 

Would you recommend this to a friend?
