well bigesst difference dslr to mirrorless is thickness & weight. Lens size too.
Looking at front size difference can be made negligable
Agreed. From the mock up showed up earlier this year I’m sure A33/A55 would be pretty thick. This is where NEX wins.
Can someone make size comparison with D5000? Or at least tell me – will a55 be smaller than D5000 (and if it is, how much smaller)
Stop calling it “Pelix.” The word “pelix” is *Canon’s name* for pellicle cameras that they build. It’s like calling every Quick AF liveview (if someone else builds such cameras), a “Sony.”
Wow, A3x/5x is very small indeed. I thought Sony can still pursue Ax series with rangefinder style (ticker version of NEX) but with native a mount. Now maybe just make sure that Nex a-mount adapter can AF properly is enough.
when Nex came out, it shook the world of photography… question were send to nikon are they going to mirrorless road? they dont denial it… but making all the lenses take a lot manufacturing power like sony has… can you? or u going to just steal the nex sensor too anyway… and question to canon if they going to jump to mirrorless wagon? they denial it, and said, they will come out with more compact body, but wont be mirrorless, they said photographers deserve a smaller body… well, welcome A33 and A55!
Thanks admin for showing my image 🙂

reD – it took awhile, but here it is:

So, yes, A33 will be smaller than D3100. Smaller by quite a bit.
Neither of those links work properly.

fixed. ~_~
It’s great that they’ve reduced DSLR size, but lenses are a huge problem for the A33. Unlike Pentax, Sony doesn’t have a set of pancake primes to choose from. I’m intrigued by the A33 and A55, but unless they blow me away in person I’ll keep on waiting for a semi-pro EVIL.
thank you!
oh sorry, that was adressed to @Sky_walker
there are small cheap a-mount lenses, 30mm macro, 35mm F1.8, 50mm F1.8. And a small 85mm F2.8. That will satisfy most people’s needs.
Which one is the translucent one, they all look rather solid to me?
As has already been mentioned, thickness is still going to be much greater in the A55 compared to mirrorless cams.
