Out of the box, the Alpha 57 has its 'Auto Portrait Framing' function active. So when you take a picture of a face, the camera detects it and saves a second version of the photo you're taking, which is actually a vertical crop reframing the subject usi...

During the launch presentation for the Alpha 57, Sony revealed it is unlikely to release another DSLR and will instead focus on its single lens translucent (SLT) cameras for the enthusiast market.This strategy is perhaps an admission that Sony is unlikely...
It is a year and a half since the Sony Alpha 55 hit the market, and the Sony Alpha 57 is more of a refresh than a new model. However, there are enough features to separate it from the entry-level Alpha 35, particularly the angled LCD screen, improved EVF...

Costing £700 in the UK or $800 in the US, with a kit lens, the launch price of the Sony Alpha a57 seems a little steep, particularly given that you can pick up the 24.3MP, GPS-enabled Sony Alpha SLT-a65 for roughly the same price, or even less if you shop...

The Sony SLT-A57 is the sequel to one of the first translucent mirror interchangeable lens cameras in the world, the two-year old SLT-A55 (SLT stands for ‘single lens translucent'). Instead of doing away with the mirror box found in DSLRs as mirrorless sy...
As an everyday camera for most casual shooting situations, the A57 leads with rich features. It should prove a capable entry-level camera which comes with an impressive list of features like Auto-HDR and Sweep Panorama, while keeping shooting easy with th...

Sony’s new α57 is aimed at serious enthusiasts who are more interested in the outcome than the process. The camera delivers some high-powered DSLR features in a package that’s intuitive enough for less-experienced shooters. And at a print-worthy 16.1-m...

The bells and whistles come at the expense of image quality; lowlight, highspeed, and digitally zoomed photos will be noisy. If you ever upgrade to a fullframe HDSLR, it likely won't be a Sony, so you'll need all new lenses...
