Rumor update: There was a small important error in the A99 specs transcription I posted yesterday. There is no built-in flash in the A99!
SAR readers sent me some very useful image comparison between the A99 and the [shoplink 8461]A77[/shoplink] and A900. The image on top is from Chad (Click on it to enlarge the picture).
Rob sent me this: “Put together a size comparison of the a99+a77, as is obvious, the a99 is wider at the left hand side of the camera, and taller too ;D Sweet! http://i48.tinypic.com/2431653.jpg”
Ren sent me this: “Here is a link to an overlay I did of the a99 and a77 for size comparison. Thought you might want to share. http://www.goldeneraphoto.com/People/sony-a99/25262338_PXXvpq#!i=2074631963&k=XDRJp9z”
Thank you all guys!
An anonymous reader sent us this picture found on the chinese Xitek (P.S.: He forgot to send me the link…you may send it to me?). My sources told me that this is a 100% correct picture of the upcoming new Sony A99 Full Frame SLT camera. The camera will be announced next week on Wednesday September 12th. As I told you before Sony wanted to realize the best hybrid video and still Full Frame camera on market by beating the current Canon 5DmarkIII. What is coming along the A99 is not only a camera but also a whole system of innovative accessories around it. It also marks the possible end of the classic DSLR Full Frame line with optical viewfinders. The [shoplink 3028 ebay]A850 (Click here)[/shoplink] and the A900 (Click here) were the last two models with viewfinder.
Below you can find the full A99 specs and the info about all the rest of the Sony stuff that is going to be announced on the same say. I want to highlight once again that I can confirm that there is also a new unexpected professional NEX camera coming too! I am working on that rumor but it looks like only few people on the world have access to the info. It’s the best kept Sony secret ever. I have been told this is a “Game Changer camera”. I highly recommend you all to follow SonyAlphaRumors in these days. Sony may be the big star at Photokina if all those rumors are correct.

UDPATE: This turned out ot be a half correct rumor. The camera will be anmed RX1. it is a FF mirrorless camera but it has a fixed lens :(
This is a super hot “little” rumor I got. A surprising new and “professional Mirrorless camera” is going to be announced on Wednesday. I have been told that this is (and now was…LOL) a super well kept secret. I am working on it right now to get some details. I repeat the sources underlined that this is a “Game Changer” camera!!!! If I would be you…and you have the money to spend on a PRO NEX…I would consider to sell your [shoplink 8454 ebay]Sony NEX-7 on eBay[/shoplink] :)
UPDATE: Also Steve Huff “broke” the info although he didn’t write that this is actually a new PRO NEX cameras.
I will work this weekend to get some details but it will be a tuff battle to find out more. Will do my best…you really have to stay tuned on SAR. Things are going fast now. Subscribe our RSS feed and Twitter stream and join the Facebook comunity! Really, this is going to be one hell of a time now on SAR!!!

Sony A77 Clean HDMI Output Test from Dave Dugdale on Vimeo.
Short update about the A99. Unlike the current [shoplink 8461]Sony A77[/shoplink] (See video on top) the A99 will have a “clean” Hdmi output. You will be able to on/off the menu info on the HDmi video. It’s a little but very important feature for filmmakers. What I don’t know yet is the compression format of the HDmi streaming.
Stay tuned! And keep in mind that Sony will announce all that super nice stuff next week on Wednesday (European time).
There is an interesting although a bit “vague” news posted by Zeiss today (Click here): “Another highlight will be the presentation of a design study, with which Carl Zeiss will offer a sneak preview of a new family of autofocus lenses for mirrorless system cameras (CSC) that will most likely be available in mid-2013. Due to their performance and high speed, these new lenses will be ideal for deliberate photo composition, making them perfect for more sophisticated photographers as well. Carl Zeiss plans to initially offer fixed focal lengths in the wide angle and standard range as well as a macro.”
They do not specify for which system! It’s my guess that these new Zeiss lenses will work like that two 19mm and 30mm Sigma lenses. They will have a “universal” design and a change in the mount only in order to fit on all different mirrorless system cameras. If it’s trues than this is good news! We need more high quality lenses like the Zeiss 24mm that is right now finally available in US (Click here at Amazon).
You have any lens on your wishlist that Zeiss should absolutely make?
