Sony didn’t manage to get into the top 3. I am sure they want to make it right this year. I really hope they will launch some awesome new stuff.

Where things do look better is here: Digital Camcorders market share

We are all anxiously waiting for the new High-End with over 30 Megapixel Sony Alpha camera but it will in no way come close to the 570-Megapixel Intergalactic Camera shown here! The 74 CCD sensors monster has been built at Fermilab by an international team of particle physicists and astronomers. What’s the goal? They want to solve one of the great mysteries of the cosmos: What is dark energy?

One question….what kind of lens will they use?

There are two ways to stay anonymous:
1) The safest way is to use contact form (there is one in the middle of the right sidebar). It doesn’t store your IP-address and you don’t need to give us your name or email adress.
2) Create a new gmail fake account and send us your news at sonyalpharumors@gmail.com!

Remember we mostly will post rumors/news that have been confirmed by other sources.

P.S.: During the last days I received some rumor from anonymous senders. Just wanted to say thank you! Hope you will write us again ;)

As you can see here bcnranking.jp no Sony camera made it in the top ten of the japanese weekly DSLR sales rankings. Only MicroFourThirds and the Pentax K-x are the exception in a world dominated by Canon-Nikon. If the new Sony cameras are really awesome as we hear from our sources this could change very soon… :)

We switched to the new theme layout. We need few hours to fix the small issues. Thanks!
