Several A55 questions

[edrice]

1) I've looked in an online manual and at reviews but don't see where the A55 is capable of time-lapse video. Does anyone know if it has that capability?

2) Is the battery charger the wall type, or does it have a cord?

3) When is David going to do a review? Or has he already done one and I missed it?

Well, I just saw Ian C's review and question session, so I'll post this over there and just ignore thie one.

The charger can be adapted to wall use with an Apple plug or any kettle cord connector. I don't use the cable which came, I have a short one which is better. Time lapse would depend on a timer remote control, they are made and the A55 has a socket which will accept one; assembly of the video would need manual processing.

I have had my A55 for exactly one week, I have written my initial review but I am still learning. Web review will follow soon. First I must do another magazine review commissioned on the camera. Of course the Canon 60D arrived today, not even unpacked it. No time.

I have a Canon G9 which will do time-lapse but it's not HD. I was hoping to maybe get a step up from that.

Didn't mean to seem pushy on the review thing. I've read most all the major ones out there, but I always seem to glean some new insight from your treatments above what the others do. So take your time as my A55 arrives in a couple of days and I'm sure that will keep me busy enough.

Thanks,

Time Lapse is rally easy to do with Windows Movie maker or Apple i-whatever-movie bundle on the system.
It is a shame Sony does not provide at least a light version of Vegas with the new video-capable cameras (NEX-VG10 comes with Sony Studio HD 'Platinum")

Where is the A55 review?

Watch the front page. I need some time to write it. Every day I'm checking out different things.
