A750 coming March/April

[Yinfinity]

Where's the secrecy?
Sony is telling retailers its price plan three to four months ahead of actual release???
Anyway it makes sense for a750 to be priced around $1700, not too close to A800 and not very far away from A500.

I'm so excited I'm peeing in my pants ...

 

[kingfishers]

If only a full, than i will buy again.

 

[Zenten]

Probably someone's bull-pooping to drive down the prices of existing Sony cameras .............

rumor its a 14.5 mega pix FF so still possible....

FF would not be successful imho... APS-C would be smaller, lighter and make sure users who have invested into APS-C can use all their lenses before the "migration" to A850/900.

They have cut quite some corners to squeeze A800 under 3k, what other corners can they cut to drop 1k+ in a year or so? I dont think camera technologies move as fast as computer processors' moore's law.

 

[Ouverture]

nothing is impossible in electronics industry. you be surprised to know the so-called technology we have now are already R&Ded many donkey years ago...

and what makes you think camera sensor is so different from computer processor chip?

 

[Gunjack]

I would welcome a sub $2k FF dslr with Open Arms, thats for sure! Never liked the APS-C format sensor DSLR. Finally people can have a more affordable choice between the 2 formats!

 

[haqeel]

wow. if this truly FF, then it'll be my next body then

 

[boombox]

That listing sounds almost like a wish list.

Sony doesn't have a flagship APS-C yet. A5xx doesn't have the build quality and sealing of the a7xx, which is an aps-c machine. I think the successor will be APS-C. :sweatsm:

I am quite doubtful that the FF camera can be sold at this price....

14mp for FF is terrible. you will not have enough resolution to match that size.

Do you even know what you're talking about? "enough resolution for that size". That size of what???

How do you think the D3 and D700 are successful if they're "only" 12MP? simple. It's called pixel density.

I am refering to the size of sensor. which means yes, pixel density is lower on an FF than it would on a apsc of the same MP. And yes, many people have survived with 12MP, but some prefers to go back in time (e.g. film photography), while others will prefer advancement. I guess its a matter of perspective, right? For me, I would rather not to limit the way I can work with my photo by lowering its definition. But i guess you would prefer to use a low MP right? a matter of perspective ultimately.

 

[zcf]

Give me lower MP and better ISO noise and Dynamic Range any time for FF sensor, as long as it's larger than 12MP/sensor.

 

[kingfishers]

Same to me if they can supply very little noise a 14.2 MP is more than enough for me......hahahahah.but Iso will 128,000 hehehehehehe.:bsmilie:

 

[Rashkae]

Nope. I bought the A900 for a good reason: maximum resolution at low ISO.

But many people here are hoping for a low-density, high-ISO monster from Sony.

I do not think it would be a good idea though. They would then face all the complaints from the wanna-be buyers about how all the FF lenses are so ex, why couldn't they keep it as APS-C, etc etc etc

Nikon D700 is 12.1MP ...... larger than 12MP ....... can consider:devil:

Yeah, but other than good high ISO, it falls flat on other aspects, especially metering, sky colors, and WB.

and the dynamic range isn't as good as the A850.
