Entry-level A-mount DSLR camera body with a 14.2MP APS-C sensor and live view.

The Sony Alpha A550 is a mid-range DSLR from Sony's Alpha series, released in 2009, featuring a 14.2MP APS-C sensor, in-body image stabilisation (IBIS), and a tilting LCD. It was notable for being among the first DSLRs to include a tilting screen for live view shooting. It uses the Sony A (Alpha) bayonet mount, compatible with Minolta and Sony Alpha lenses.

14.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor, Sony A (Alpha/Minolta) bayonet mount, in-body steady shot (IBIS), tilting 3-inch LCD for live view, ISO 200–12800, 7fps burst.

The A550's tilting LCD was a practical innovation for the time, enabling compositing from low and high angles in live view before this was common on DSLRs. The Sony A mount accepts Minolta MD/AF lenses (with some limitations) via the native bayonet compatibility, giving access to the Minolta A-mount lens ecosystem without adapters.

Test the tilting LCD hinge mechanism — this is a moving part that can wear. Check the sensor for dust. Verify IBIS function. Test all exposure modes. Confirm Sony A mount lens engagement. Battery availability for older Sony Alpha bodies should be verified.
