Great News . specs for a38?? and release date.

I would guess that A58 will get the 24 Mpix sensor

i woudl like to know more about the A58 for sure but i see no problem with the 57 (mostly)
im not a pro so i dont think most the time i woudl care for the extra MP (im sure i woudl use them now and then tho )

if the “upgrade is just iso shoe and more MP” im getting the 57 at a hel of a discount when the 58 comes out

If they can put the Sony made analog to the new Toshiba 24mp sensor (or a better one) on the a58 and add micro focus adjust, they have a winner. Add a higher res finder while they are at it. Sony should have a 3/5/7/9 series, just like minolta. The 6 series is too close to the 7.

Please stop referring to new shoe as “standard” ISO. It requires adapters for TTL/HSS radio slaves.

iISO is the Sony/Mino standard for 20 years… a 20 year standard… NO ADAPTERS are needed for smart TTL/HSS accessories, including two smart radio slaves from Odin and Pixel King.

New shoe is standard for F60M and XLR only. Everything else requires adapters. Standards don’t require adapters.

I´m in with the N crowd, I go where the N crowd goes. I´m in with the N crowd
and I know what the N crowd knows.

After having a camera (a77) with Micro Adjustment on it, that has become a requirement for me for SLR/SLT cameras. I’ll consider a model if it has it, but if none… not an option.

well… i guess the revolution will NOT happend this year, probably for the best, i hope.
so next generation flip mirror maybe will come with the new layer sensor.
i hope sony see the mistakes they make with the a99 and do better.
as much as pros likes to dismiss megapixels race and sales factor, market show otherwise.
nikon d800 kill a99 sales before it had even show up.
theres 2 people, or 2 needs, does who need as much pixels as they can get, and the ones who want to shot as dark as they want.
sony new generation should satisface the 2 markets, and distance from full frame death row.
canikon made ff beacuse they need to, they had so much ff lenses out there that they cant stop producing ff, but ff had zero advantage vs aps-c, in money (both bodies and lenses)
ff really one advantage is the high iso, and sony can easily step up ahead.
new models a3, a5, a7 should come in 2 versions hi and mp, for example…
a5hi (10mp) a5mp (24mp)
you know dslr can do both ways, you not only can put several lenses to one body you can also put several bodies to one lense, so you need ff-like iso you put the a5hi, now you need tons of pixels from the shot you put the 5mp.
who will not buy both a5 versions instead of the a99, for half the price, and get same qp or better, plus knowing that all lenses will cost less down the hill.
this way sony focus in dt lenses (cheaper/smaller) and shift the war tides, use their strength in bodies, driving the market by bodies, and stop figthing with canikon an uphill always loser battle in lenses.
sony dont need to refresh all line every 2 or 1 year, they need to spread the range, maybe adding models without filters akin nikon d800e, and options in range with weather sealed, gps/wifi, colors, etc
if sony need/want to stay in the ff war, they should follow exact tactic
a8hi (20mp) a8mp (50mp)
as for the NEX… never a big fan, it was rushed with deeply flaws for the beginning.
sony wanted super slim at all cost, so they sideline os in body, now every lense need it and thats why every e mount lense will be costly than an a mount, they go with apsc size sensor now every lense is huge vs body, thats one reason it had not past 200mm in all this years, they rushed the e mount, canikon had more compatibility with their bigger lenses and seems to be designed with that in mind, sony e mount was built from scrath and the problems shows now, just now began making retractable lenses, finally they think wait we make a pocketable camera, maybe we should make pocketable lenses, sony need nikon to show up to understand that.
as for the FF NEX… lol all the same people that for the past year had been writing asking one and salivating and dreaming and praying sony to fullfill wish, is the same that when sony release it at $2500 will say, its overpriced, theres no lenses, i will wait for the next nex ff that suit me best, why that many mp i wanted more/less, i wanted ovf, its ok but i wait for a medium format mirrorles when you should i can get one?
