Sony Bloggie Review

————————————————————-
Sony Earnings Announcement for Q3. After losing quarters Sony manages to close the fiscal third quarter of 2009 with an operating profit.

Working on new rumors…

Dear readers!

I’ve been a little busy in this days. I had to shot a commercial with the Sony EX-1 :)

Anyway after having posted two successful leaks on SonyAlphaRumors.com (the compact cameras leak and the Sony DSC-TX5 leak) we are confident to know more soon about the next Sony cameras.
