Ready for the Sony DDAY? There are only 10 hours to go (Announcement will be made at 6-7am London time). I am constantly watching for leaks on youtube, stores and so on but there is still nothing. Did you find something? By the way, just saw  that Nikon will announce new Coolpix cameras. And there is might a chance this this is all what we will see form Nikon tomorrow!

Meanwhile those are the poll results. Seeing the results the A77 is the most wanted new camera. The A65 almost earns no attention. And it looks like 15-20% of you will buy the whole package, A77+16-50mm+battery grip. The NEX-7 also “beats” the NEX-5N. But let’s see tomorrow if you really will confirm your shopping intentions!

You can’t rest for a moment in these days! The dpreview forum user named Stratross posted a set of A65 pictures. Are those leaks real? Of course! As usual click on the image to enlarge the size!

As you know the A65 shares the same 24 Megapixel sensor of the A77. The only differences are:
A77 has 19 point AF system with 11 cross sensors while the A65 has only 3 cross sensors.
A77 can do 12 fps while the A65 can do 10fps.
A77 has new 3 way tilting LCD, A65 has “classic” tilting LCD
A77 can do 50 ISO while A65 can not.
The A77 has a magnesium body while the A65 has not.
The A77 has 1/8000 shutter while A65 has a 1/4000 shutter
The A77 has a top LCD screen while the A65 has it not.
The A77 is Dust and Moisture proof while the A65 is not

This is never going to end! There is a new set of leaked images found via DChome! The most interesting image is the new NEX-7 reander (it doesn’t look like a real NEX-7 image). Below you can find the A77 picture. Click on them to enlarge the image!

P.S.: Meanwhile the german website that yesterday posted those nice A77 image had to remove the images from his website.

And here are two more A77 reports coming from two sources:

Source_1: I can confirm the A77 pictures are real – they match the unit I’m holding in my hands now. FYI, the 16-50 is a mixed metal/plastic lens, like the [shoplink 6050]CZ 24-70[/shoplink]. Autofocus is as fast and quiet as the 24-70. As for the D-range button, the buttons on the A77 are massively customizable, you can assign a different function to each! And the smart teleconverter can be switched to a 100% live view magnification.

Source_2: I am just looking at a few pics taken with the [shoplink 6050]CZ 24-70[/shoplink] and the new sensor. So crispy it tears our eyes out plus a bit of moire…now we know why those expensive lenses are are there :) With 24 Megapixel the pictures also look more “wide eyed” and “deeper”.
