On top of its translucent mirror cameras, Sony today put out two new conventional Alpha cameras to occupy the entry level. The 14.2-megapixel A560 and 16.2-megapixel A580 use a traditional flip-up mirror but still shoot AVCHD (H.264) video in 1080i. They shoot slower, at 7FPS maximum, but still have the advantage of a second, preview-only sensor to compose quicker in live view, zoom in while having a 1X view and get input on the focus before committing to the shot.
