Good feature. :thumbsup: will be useful for macro photography.

Look like the A550 is a more interesting camera than the A850. Good high iso and high fps.

Yes... Same here, it also has built in HDR and capable to do it while hand held. I was told, the other camera that can do this would need to be mounted on a tripod.

I think is suitable for any static object.

By the way, from the A500/A550 spec, in this mode:

* Live View with CMOS Exmor sensor
* Metering varies according to shooting mode
* 100% frame coverage
* Display: Real-time image adjustment display (White balance, Sunset/ B&W of Creative Style, Exposure Compensation)
* Zoom (x7.0/x14.0), Grid line display

Since it is using the CMOS Exmor sensor to give a high-resolution preview of picture, would this substitution of DOF preview feature? Since I am able to fine tune the focusing, shouldn't I be able to see how the DOF from the live view as well?

For someone who never seen the DOF preview feature, it just make me wonder...

Anyway, just a thought...
