Sony A900 at Photo Image Brazil

The Sony A900 made an appearance at Photo Image Brazil this week.  Here on some shots of the displays that surfaced on the DPR forums.  In the image above you can see the see-through body of the A900 along with an example of the size differences in an APC and full-frame sensor.

Above is a head-on shot of what looks to be the final version of the A900 with references to its massive 24.6 megapixels along with the sure-to-perform Carl Zeiss 24-70 f/2.8 lens.  Now there’s a kit lens.

Sony A900 Update

By

Sony A900As usual, Photoclub Alpha has a keen ear to the ground on the upcoming Sony Alpha gear.  This time it’s more news on the flagship A900.  We’ve all been waiting anxiously to see the A900 since Sony announced its development last year at PMA.

While Photoclub Alpha notes two Cybershots on August 14th (today), I’m pretty sure we got those last week.

With regard to the A900 though, they point out:

The Alpha 900 will, as far as we are aware, be shown to the press on September 9th/10th worldwide.

Additionally, their info reveals that the A900 will go on sale on September 30th.

Expect to see lots more A900 coverage as we approach Photokina 2008.

Sony Announcement on August 14

By

Photoclub Alpha has confirmed that Sony will be announcing an “exciting digital camera” on August 14.

They go on to say that they don’t think this will be the announcement for the Sony A900 and expect it to come closer to Photokina at “an international Sony Alpha press trip on Sept 9/10th to Edinburgh.”

No other word on what the “exciting digital camera” for August 14 could be. It’s just a little over a week though, so we’ll probably see some more leaks and hints. Stay tuned and we’ll keep you posted when more is known.

PhotographyBLOG has posted a review of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10.

The Cyber-shot DSC-H10 is the latest in a long line of super-zoom cameras from Sony. Successor to the H3 model, the DSC-H10 adds a larger 3 inch LCD screen, and retains the same 8 megapixel sensor and 10x, 38-380mm zoom lens. Other standout features of the Sony H10 include Super Steady Shot image stabilisation, Dynamic Range Optimisation, Face Detection and a wide range of manually adjustable settings. Currently retailing for around £200 / $300, Zoltan Arva-Toth finds out if the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10 is worth considering.
