I got a Sony Alpha A55 (2010 Camera Of The Year) for review and went out yesterday evening for some sunset photos. It snowed a bunch in the mountains the night before and it was very clear and cold - good conditions for a good sunset. Unfortunately there were no clouds on the mountains. Since it was so cold, super dry snow and a bit of evening wind made up for no clouds with streams of spindrift up at the top.
I haven't used the Sony A55 much yet. But these photos came out beautiful. I shot them on a tripod with the Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 pro zoom using live view. I chose the A55 as Camera Of The Year because of its creative design and new technology. After being able to use it a bit I have no second thoughts. No - it's not a pro body. Nor did I expect it to be. But the performance is excellent. Even the EVF works well! I haven't been bothered by it while I use it like I have been in the past with some other EVF viewfinders.
Oh yeah - it was about 15 degrees with a bit of wind when I took these pictures. I had on two shirts, a shell jacket, a synthetic underjacket, a fat down vest, insulated Carharrt pants, a wool hat and fleece mittens, and I was still freezing. My fingers and toes hurt when I got back in the car.
