It looks like we may be getting very close to the launch of the new Sony DSLRs, as the Sony A550L Kit is back on the Sony Style USA site in a product registration drop down list.
Expect the Sony A850 and A500 too.
The Sony A550 is rumored to have a 15-megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor. The A500 gets a 12-megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor and the A850 will have the same 24.6-megapixel sensor as the Sony A900.
