I do not get why some have to make out as if the SOny A55 is an amazing machine.



It is just a DLSR-like camera, from the bottom end (compact consumer end) of the DSLR market.



Does it really offer 10 fps, as we know it from DSLRs? No. It offers 3fps that is comparable, and a strange 6fps mode that does not offer a view of the moving subject

That's flat-out false. Rob (a pro sports photographer) used A55 10 fps to shot a tennis game, and his conclusion was that it's perefectly usable (out of 400 shots less than 10 were out-of-focus).



You can view a short video about using the camera here......

And here is a video demonstration of 10 fps. It's no worse than black-out that you get from mirror flip
