If you're looking for a camera that can shoot fast action- whether that is sports, wildlife or even your kids, then the Sony Alpha SLT-A35 is perfect for you.

This is because the Alpha SLT-A35 is a Single Lens Translucent (SLT) camera, a new range of cameras that are perfect for those who want to get more creative with photography than is possible with a compact point and shoot camera like the Nikon Coolpix S9100. This camera comes with an 18-55mm lens that can be swapped out for other lenses, just like a DSLR.
