The Sony Alpha SLT-A57 was announced back in March as the follow-up to 2010's superb A55. It's larger than its predecessor, but it has a longer battery life, a higher maximum ISO, and faster burst shooting. We found its sheer speed was one of its main draws since many full-size DSLRs that shoot this fast can cost up to $6000. This deal through Groupon drops the price down to $549 for the body with a 18–55mm kit lens and includes free shipping.
