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.

Nikon D90 Ads – Amazon and B&H Photo

By

Just a little note to point out that B&H Photo and Amazon are already taking out Google Adwords ads on the keywords “Nikon D90”.

When you search for “Nikon D90” on Google, you’ll see the ads on the right side of the results page (opposite of the natural search results).  The ads are written by the companies and they bid on them for a given cost per click.

The Amazon page takes you to Amazon’s “search” page for the Nikon D90. . . .  No, there’s nothing exciting there yet.

B&H Photo’s ad takes you to a B&H “search” page for the Nikon D80.

We know it’s coming, so this is really just another hint of things to come.

Nikon D90 UPC Code

Nikon D90 UPC

Yes, the Nikon UPC has been spotted . . . in the UPC Database.  And, everyone is reporting it as fact.

This is a bit of a misnomer though.  See, the user-created UPC Database can be edited by anyone,  which makes this most likely bogus and something someone submitted to stir up some buzz.

Over the past couple years, we’ve seen links to the UPC database for the fictional Canon 7D and a variety of other cameras.

This doesn’t mean that the Nikon D90 is not real; however, this UPC news is really non-news until there is confirmation from a more reliable source.
