In the meanwhile you should read the article “Massimo in Argentina for Sony’s Twilight Football“. Massimo won the Sony Twilight Football contest and flew to Argentina and gained the honour to play with the new Sony A550. Lucky guy!

Just received this:
“I was just at the Henry’s photographic show in Toronto today. I also spoke with someone at the Sony booth and they said that a major announcement to the product line will be made in 3 months. They would not confirm or deny if it would be a mirrorless, interchangable lens camera.”
I bet Sony will soon announce their new APS-C mirrorless compact camera system!
