Little sister to the A55, the A33 uses the same semi-transparent mirror for continuous AF during video capture, as well as a 6-fps burst rate and super-fast AF. Its imaging proved noisier than the A55's in our tests, though.

Standout Spec:

Fast AF, even in video, with tracking.

At a time when many new interchangeable-lens cameras have been forgoing reflex mirrors altogether, Sony’s new Alpha 55 (and Alpha 33) take a radically different approach. Instead of ditching the mirror—and with it, speedy, reliable autofocus—Sony gave these two DSLRs a semi-transparent mirror that doesn’t flip up and down. The result: Cameras that can autofocus continuously while recording high-definition video, and fire off stills at high burst rates—and that keep the existing Alpha lensmount for compatibility with the entire Sony lens catalog.
