Great news… glad they’re waiting until 2012. We can still get some use out of our A900′s

As a Cell and PSP Engine developer, I believe in Sony’s semi conducting design capability, but just a 2x / 4x cannot proof the processing power. (Should there be any Bionz II replacing 2x Bionz?)

also, the timing is a bit disappointing. Canon should have launched 5Dm3 by that time.

And I believe A950 should have similar capability as 1D line in order to compete well in the market

Sorry, sensor noob here, but would Bionz processor mean the next FF will NOT be SLT? (No SLT fan here)

Can’t decide on buying 850 now or saving more for a 30MP FF monster in a year. (Still playing with my KM7D at present and just dying to go FF on my lenses again.)

If Sony prices it reasonably and doesn’t go Nikon on us and charges 12,000 bucks for it, I may be jumping for one of these puppies, unless the A77 is such a milestone and I go for that first.

I wouldn’t be too woried if Nikon or Canon release flagship cameras before Sony, what would be the big fuss? They’ve done that so far for a while and that didn’t prevent Sony from releasing the A900 neither it prevented A900/850 users from making great images with them. Same applies for the APS-C models.

Besides, Sony users use Alpha mount lenses and accesories no? Last I heard, the D3S and the 1DsMmkIII do not accept Alpha mount lenses…

What I would really like from Sony is a major improvement in the image processor, including automatic color fringing correction of lenses in-camera, an expansion of creative styles (like Pentax or Olympus have), in-camera RAW Processing, a major overhaul to the JPÈG engine so images in JPEG look just as good as RAW files can look after processing, ability to embed copyrigt and photographer’s name to the EXIF file from the camera automatically and finaly an ability to manually add or remove color tints on the WB like in the Nikon D90.

Those improvements would be very welcome and useful to me and aside from the JPEG processing issue, I don’t think they would be very hard to implement but I maybe wrong.

Oh and just so people won’t complain. add video with 1080p and all sorts of funky and standard frame rates, hell make it even an user custom selectable frame rate option and that would kill Canon’s video or at least seriously hurt it.

I just really hope they don’t drop OVF for good in FF or APS-C lines.

I doubt Sony is going to listen to me, but I believe it should be about producing the highest quality sill images possible….

In my opinion, anyone willing to spend over $2,000.00 just for a camera body is also going to shot RAW and is planning on post processing using Adobe Camera RAW or some other package and is not really interested in JPEG, styles and other stuff that most professionals now do on computers instead of darkrooms.

I’m hoping for alpha-mount body that captures the best image possible; at 100 ISO all the way to 6400 ISO and above so I can avoid flash photography as much as I can, so noise is important.

I’m okay with FF, APS-C or even something new; just make it A-mount so I don’t lose my investment in CZ lenses.

To me it’s about a detailed sharp in focus well exposed image

Other basics are important too, like fast and accurate AF, enough MP whatever enough is.

And it would be nice if I didn’t need to worry as much as I do about weather, so do more sealing like I’m seeing on other professional cameras and lenses.
But sell me a great camera first and I’ll do the rest!
