Exposure is generally good when using Multi-Segment metering (except for the odd over-exposure when metering lighter subjects). However, the Spot meter is a little less refined, it feels as though the spot-area is relatively large and may underexpose in some circumstances. Tonally images are a little on the flat side, though in-camera Creative Styles such as Vivid mode can spruce this up where needed, or a bit of software post-production or Raw processing can help out. Sony Alpha a550 review – RAW/JPEG Queueing traffic and road is impassable due to flooding on B5102 Rossett Road in both directions from Rossett turn off to The Griffin Inn. Amber warnings for wind and rain for North Wales expired at 6am this morning although Storm Babet continues to affect Scotland. Collision investigation works took place, while national highways contractors assisted with traffic management. Diversion routes were in operation.

The B5097 in both directions closed due to flooding from Bank Street (Rhosllanerchrugog) to B5426 Bronwylfa Road (Llwyneinion). A5 in both directions closed due to flooding between Llangollen ( Llangollen) and Froncysyllte (Froncysyllte). A sheepdog came to the rescue of three ewes who had been cut off by floodwater as Storm Babet unleashed floods all over the UK. It was quite dangerous because I didn’t know how deep it was. She’s a strong swimmer and she was able to swim across.While the weather is forecast as being showery with sunny spells in North Wales forecasters have brought forward the end of the red danger to life weather warning in Scotland by six hours, although the authorities remain braced for further flooding there this afternoon.

The Sony A550 produced images of excellent quality during the review period. The Sony A550's first impressive feature in terms of image quality is the extensive and very usable ISO range of 200-12800. ISO 200-800 is noise-free, whilst ISO 1600 and 3200 produce more than acceptable results, and even ISO 6400 is OK for emergency use (though we'd avoid the headline grabbing ISO 12800 setting).

It’s not unexpected, given kit lenses on the majority of DSLR releases tend to be reasonable at best. There’s a lot of detail present, and the 14.2 megapixel sensor does a good job, but is probably better paired with a sharper lens. Sony Alpha a550 review – Value for money Unlike the lower-end Sony models with smaller, sunken grips – such as the a380– the Alpha a550 has a solid, protruding rubberised grip that fits comfortably to the hand. This gives the immediate feel of control and its finish ensures it holds well to the hand. The rest of the camera body, however, feels rather ‘plasticy’ in finish. Furthermore the manual focus element of the kit lens is directly at the front, meaning grabbing fingers are in danger of touching the front lens element or getting in the way of shot should you work in this way.Waterfall Road in both directions impassable due to flooding from Prestatyn turn off (Dyserth) to Saint Bridgets Church (Diserth). The main menu offers the standard, slower way of getting to those more ‘behind the scenes’ details, such as colour spaces, noise reduction and aspect ratios. It’s good to see so many easy access routes into controls, as to not bog down the user with excessive menu digging. The bulk of controls are reached via the Function (Fn) button, and once things are set up the new user interface introduced by Sony shows your settings in an easy-to-understand display on the LCD. Change a setting and corresponding exposure controls will change respectively, as a visual means to demonstrate to more entry-level users what’s happening to each aspect. It’s easy to understand and not overburdening in any way – and certainly looks a lot better than Sony menus of old. New measures to curb speeding on a busy Cheshire road where several serious crashes have occurred are to be introduced from March. This will allow us to deal with urgent and emergency calls faster.” ‌​‌‌​​​‌‍‌​‌​‌‌‌​‍‌​‌​‌‌​​‍‌​​‌‌‌‌​‍‌​​​​‌‌​‍‌​‌​‌​‌‌‍‌​​‌​‌‌‌‍‌​​‌‌​‌​‍‌​​​​‌‌​‍‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‍‌​​​‌‌​‌‍‌​​‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌​‌​‌‌‍‌​​‌​‌‌‌‍‌​​‌​‌‌​‍‌​​‌‌​‌​‍‌​​​‌​​‌‍‌​​‌‌​‌​‍‌​​​‌‌​​ Earlier update: ‌​‌‌​​​‌‍‌​‌​‌‌‌​‍‌​‌​‌‌​​‍‌​​‌‌‌‌​‍‌​​​​‌‌​‍‌​‌​‌​‌‌‍‌​​‌​‌‌‌‍‌​​‌‌​‌​‍‌​​​​‌‌​‍‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‍‌​​​‌‌​‌‍‌​​‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌​‌​‌‌‍‌​​‌​‌‌‌‍‌​​‌​‌‌​‍‌​​‌‌​‌​‍‌​​​‌​​‌‍‌​​‌‌​‌​‍‌​​​‌‌​​
