Thanks for the answer and your interest Klaus (and Brightcolours <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

I am pretty amateur in slr's and excuse me for my ignorance, i bought this body because i found it in a really good price and checked the stats and specs with other canon and nikon models in dxomark. I then realised that a33 did covered my needs for the things i would like to do and did had a good rank in dxomark compared with other bodies.
I mainly shoot sunsets and landscapes, but when it comes to light I do have these effects. I thought that it's from the slt technology but as you say, I will have the same issues with any slr and any lens.
So, could I have better results with a lens hood or even a filter (dunno) ?
Will i have the same results with a nikon/canon body or better?
Or should i sell it and buy a nikon/canon and shoot sunset without such effects?
Do slr bodies have better results (without ghosting, flare) in these situations (light source, sunset) or are the same with slt?

Usually, without putting a filter on the lens, you will NOT get those ghost lights.
It is right or wrong to suppose that the images you showed all had a filter mounted on the lens?
If not, then you are using a lens whose design is not typical, as most lenses on their own do not reflect ghost lights back that way.
The A33 with its translucent mirror does create a different type of ghost light, with night photography. But those do not look like what you show. The A55/A55 specific "SLT" ghost lights appear very close to the original light source, kind of like an echo of bright spots. A different phenomenon,
The ghost lights you have shown can not be avoided with lens hoods. If it is the filter causing them, just take the filter off. If it is one specific lens design causing it, use a different lens in those situations.
DSLRs are similar to your SLT with the shown ghostings. In fact, the ghost lights may show up a bit stronger with the same filter because with your SLT the mirror takes away a bit of the brightness from the reflected light, directing down and up the mirror box.
