So should we help them a little bit? Please answer only if you really want to buy the FF camera! Invite your friends to vote and comment the rumor…Sony is reading us!
Loading ...One more thing:
One of my trusted sources sent me the link to an older A900

A950
2 years ago |A950 should be OVF model since no profit even new EVF but AF-C speed in movie, preview.
Pros: AF-C speed in movie, color/ apperture preview
Cons: degrading resolution by mirror, bad handling of cleaning mirror, slow reactivity of finder at sports usage
Cons will not be accepted by high class user
because no such Cons in other camere.

2 years ago |The a900 replacement is not late.
These cameras should have a 4 years life cycle. (like the 1ds2 had and the 1ds3 is going to have).
With the image quality they deliver, it does not make sense to launch a marginally better new camera after 2 years.
4 years cycle will allow to more development and therefore a more tangible improvement and you will get your money worth of camera.
In the mean time keeps those 3 grands in the bank or take some needed holidays.
Those that are so frantically in the need of an a900 replacement, seriously need to chill out.
Cheers!

2 years ago |There are at least two major segments.
Pure Photographers and people who wants good photos and videos.
Sony could produce two hi-end models…
1/ FF OVF camera focused on highest possible raw photo quality
2/ FF EVF innovative multimedia production tool, including superior video, HDRv2, multi exposure panoramas, less megapixels for better high ISO.

2 years ago |I have a feeling that will be the end verdict. The FF EVF will go to an E-mount while the FF OVF will be the A950. Compatibility will still be there for alpha glass in the former (hopefully at a zippier speed), and the latter will appeal to the pros.
Of course if they find that the SLT will allow incredible groundbreaking performance like, say, it’ll be the first interchangable camera that can pull off 12+ fps, then it might be a different story.

They would have to do a bit better than 12FPS.
Back in 1984 the Canon F1 shot film at 14FPS.

2 years ago |lol and whole debate ends when we find out that We are actually 20 years back
I agree with Don and John, today’s new post says that they are working on nx camcoder based on e-mount.. E-mount overtakes it

2 years ago |How much engies are required if 12fps in A950 32Mp?
No possiblity found A950 EVF by engine issue.

Dual BionzII or Quad Bionz
Sequentially burned to 4 of the fastest memory cards.
Could be utilized in optional tethered Battery/memory card belt pack that also powers off board flash.
Hopefully Sony decide on OVF till EVF is perfected

2 years ago |Since there’s a lot of talk about OVF here, this is an article worth reading:
http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/understanding-series/viewfinders.shtml
The largest overall viewfinder (multiply magnification and % coverage) for MAF mount was the 7000.
This is why i’m glad Sony is moving away from pentamirrors on their crop sensor cameras.

2 years ago |I Use a sony a900 and I tell you I have used all the Major pro level Cameras
I just recently dumped Canon to get on with the Zeiss Optics . I would Hate for them to lose the Optical Viewfinder it is near perfect in Fact the A900 is near perfect the only Change I would love to see is Live View for the odd time when I need to shoot Tethered from an Extreme corner of a room where I cant get my eye behind the Viewfinder.
A little less Noise on Higher ISO levels 24 mpx is more then enough for anyone who shoots 35mm so give us better enviro sealing live view and less Noise then give us a tilt and shift 24mm and 85mm
Give us a 500mm f4 14mm prime a 18mm prime bring back the Minolta 200mm F4 Macro and let us loose
The A900 is 90% perfect as it is It reminds me of the days I used the Canon F1 and Later the Nikon F4s They were no gimmick Fast and precise tools made for pro’s to take Pictures for a living and the A900 is almost there

7 months ago |I want a fullframe DSLR instead of Translcuent technology. The reason why I bought A900 is because of its’ excellent OVF and impressive Dynamic range. I don’t need 30+ Megapixels, 24MP (for me) is more than enough
David Lam
7 months ago |I have been using a900 for almost 2 years, and I agree to Arthur’s comment on OVF, lack of liveview and noisy High ISO.
I can live with 3 Sony cameras:
1. A950 >30MP FF DSLR OVF, >5fps, clean ISO 50-1600
2. A7x >16MP APS-C DSLR, 15fps, clean ISO 100-3200, 3D focus tracking
3. NEX 9 >24MP APS-H or FF, clean ISO 50-6400, high bitrate HD video
Also, please give us the famous Zeiss lenses:
Distagon 21/2.8, 28/2, 35/1.4
Planar 55/1.2, 85/1.2
Makro-Planar 100/2
