Just found a very unreliable “rumor” inside the dpreview forum. According to PierreChris Sony will announces the A950. Basically it is a A900 with a 32 Mpix sensor. No video mode. High iso.
Anyway it sounds more like a private speculation…
As reported by Photorumors.com there will be a Sony press conference you can watch live at @ ustream.tv on January 6th from 4:15-5:15pm PST.
Expect the announcement of new compact cameras. But will there be more? A7xx? A950? You can find many speculations around the web like here for example: Sony A950 speculations (dpreview forum)
UPDATE: There is also a new A450 rumor
Imaging Resource is almost done with their Sony Alpha 500 review. They posted some image samples here.
A small Sony A500 vs A550 comparison has been posted inside the dpreview forum.
Kurt made an incredible detailled review of the Tamron and Sony 28-75mm lenses. If you are interested in one of those lenses you should absolutely read the review: http://www.kurtmunger.com/tamron_sony_28_75mmid141.html
It is a very looong review full of images and crops!
