Sony A580 in Stock in US and Europe!
Finally also the new Sony Alpha 580 is in Stock here and there. For those of you that do not care about Autofocus speed during videorecording the A580 might is the better choice because of the Optical Viewfinder and the absence of the translucent mirror that would take you away some light (one third of stop).
In US:
Adorama has the Sony A580 with kit lens in Stock (Click here) and so some reseller on eBay (Click here).
In Europe:
Amazon Deutschland

I highly recommend this camera for someone who is buying a DSLR camera for the first time. A lot of nice features for a good price.

If the samples what I saw on one internet comparison was real, there is a noticeable difference.
(I don’t say that A55 is bad {because it is not}, but A580 is visibly better)

Q
3 years ago |You mean over heating issues like ALL DLSR’s that record video?
Then yes, the camera will overheat with prolonged usage in video record mode. The difference in video mode is the autofocus system, both bodies still utilize sensor stability which contributes to system heat.
