The new rumor:
SonyAlphaRumors is pleased to share some new details about the next cameras! Four new APS-C cameras will be announced late August. All those cameras will be in Stock by September!
1) A55 (translucent) 16MP 10FPS EVF-1.44M 1.1X magnification 95% AVCHD full hd
2) A33 (translucent) 14MP 7FPS EVF-1.44M 1.1X magnification 95% AVCHD full hd
3) A560 14MP 7FPS MF recording AVCHD full hd
4) A580 16MP 7FPS MF recording AVCHD full hd
Those models will replace the actual $loc = $_SESSION['geoip'];
if ($loc == 'GB' OR $loc == 'UK')
{ $sel = "1"; ?>Sony A550 }
if ($loc == 'ES')
{ $sel = "1"; ?>Sony A550 }
if ($loc == 'IT')
{ $sel = "1"; ?>Sony A550 }
if ($loc == 'AT')
{ $sel = "1"; ?>Sony A550 }
if ($loc == 'DE')
{ $sel = "1"; ?>Sony A550 }
if ($loc == 'BE')
{ $sel = "1"; ?>Sony A550 }
if ($loc == 'AU')
{ $sel = "1"; ?>Sony A550 }
if ($loc == 'FR' OR $loc == 'FX')
{ $sel = "1"; ?>Sony A550 }
if ($loc == 'NL')
{ $sel = "1"; ?>Sony A550 }
if ($loc == 'CA')
{ $sel = "1"; ?>Sony A550 }
if ($loc == 'JA' OR $loc == 'JP')
{ $sel = "1"; ?>Sony A550 }
if ($loc == 'US')
{ $sel = "1"; ?>Sony A550 }
if ($sel != '1')
{?>Sony A550 } ?> (which has been discontinued in Japan!).
All four will feature a HDR 6EV, 15 AF focus point, DOF preview, panorama/3D, ISO 100 (base). Let me say that I expect those cameras to be awesome and real competitor (if not better) of the Canon 7D. Autofocus during video recording is way faster than the Canon, High-ISO very very good and last but not least I like the new design

July 31, 2010 |An A7xx will never come – cause Sony produces only for the low budget market. They believe, that they have lost the competition against nikon and canon.
… and this ist right. I use an Alpha 700 but only until the next photokina – then I will switch to nikon, because that is a professional !!!! photo-brand.
sony has lost the race……..

July 31, 2010 |Ironman! Sony will come with the new A7xx. Don’t be worried!

I use Sony cause I had serveral minolta in earlier time and a lot of lenses for them. I hoped that sony continous the professionality of minolta. But now I´m very dissapointed. And to your question — I will change to nikon after the photokina and I will give away my sony a 700. My lenses I will use further with my analog Minolta and Diafilms.
Sony has lost the race

August 4, 2010 |You must be watching the wrong race!
This isn’t a 100m sprint, it is a marathon, and the runners have just left the starting line. Sony might have some catching up to do, but I’m sure Canon and Nikon are turning their heads once in a while to see where Sony is!

August 8, 2010 |Considering that Sony has some of the best glass available in certain pro level categories I would not count them out of the pro market. (50/f1.4, 135/f1.8, 70-400/f4.5-5.6, 300/f2.8) Just introduced, 24/f2. Coming soon 500mm lens.

Rumor: Sony to announce 4 new cameras with 14MP and 16MP APS-C sensors | Nikon Rumors
August 23, 2010 |[...] Today Sonyalpharumors reported that Sony will release four new cameras with 14MP and 16MP APC-S sensors and guess what? One of the expected new feature is AF during video recording. Sounds familiar? The rumored Nikon D3100 DSLR is also expected to have continuous AF during video recording. My initial report about the D3100 having a 10MP sensor is probably wrong and Nikon may use this 14MP sensor from Sony. [...]
