What's the difference between the sony alpha nex and a regular dslr camera?

I've been looking at both types of cameras. I know that the sony alpha nex and other camera like it are mirror-less. But is that the only difference? Which would you recommend? Which type of camera produces better pictures. I know there are a lot of factors that determine image quality, but overall which one is better?


Answer
The image quality should be fine.

Here are some comparison performance tests of a Sony NEX C3 and some DSLRs

The biggest loss is the optical viewfinder with a Through The Lens view and possibly fast autofocus performance in low light.

What DSLR camera would you recommend me to buy?

I need a new camera but am lost on which one to get!
I have my eye on Nikon D3100 or Canon 550D- any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance!



Answer
My other suggestion would be to look at the Sony SLT A55. This DSLR has Sony's Translucent Mirror Technology which allows for full-time continuous auto focus whether you're shooting still pictures or 1080/60i HD video. No other DSLR allows this. The technology also allows shooting at 10fps (frames per second) which is the fastest in its price range.The Sony SLT A55 also gives you 2D or 3D Sweep Panorama in the camera as well as HDR in the camera. It also has built-in GPS.

Here are some reviews:

Current prices at B&H - http://www.bhphotovideo.com

Nikon D3100 w/18-55mm zoom, $649.95 after a $50.00 Instant Savings from B&H. Ends 7-30-2011.

Canon 550D/T2i w/18-55mm zoom, $749.95 after a $50.00 Instant Savings from B&H. Ends 7-9-2011.

Sony SLT A55 w/18-55mm zoom, $799.99 after a $50.00 Instant Savings from B&H. Ends 7-9-2011.

All 3 cameras have free USA shipping.

With its built-in focusing motor and Sony's version of Image Stabilization in the camera body and use of the legacy Minolta Maxxum "A" lens mount the SLT A55 can use the Legacy Minolta Maxxum AF lenses dating back to 1985 and they will auto focus and become, in effect, IS lenses.

The Nikon D3100 requires the more expensive Nikon AF-S lenses if you want them to auto focus.

Canon and Nikon have their respective versions of IS in some but not all of their lenses plus you pay for it over and over. A Minolta Maxxum AF 50mm f1.4 prime lens on the A55 will be an IS lens. Neither Nikon nor Canon offers an IS 50mm prime lens.

In my opinion the Sony SLT A55 offers technology and features that Nikon and Canon lack. Its only a matter of time before Canon and Nikon will have to respond by upgrading their technology to match that of the Sony A55.
