Yes, I thought I saw it somewhere that Sony announced that they want to make it work well before launching the feature to the consumers. Kudos to Sony. :thumbsup:

Olympus was the first to have fast liveview with their E-330, however they abandoned its implementation after that for reasons I don't know.
Sony did state that they wouldn't have made video till they could get right. Somehow I feel they didn't say that for the sake of saying. Time will tell.

Confirm its a A850 Full Frame and the price is about 20% to 30% (RSP) cheaper than the A900 ( RSP )launching around Oct or Nov. 2009 .
A lot of New feature but the body is not as solid as the A900 Only by a little only.
Just wait and there will New Firmware Upgrade for all present A700 and A900.
Sources are from my Trusted Japanese conterparts in Japan .
I just got back from Japan only .
Cheers

What about the A700 replacement? It's about 2 years old, which in camera terms is a looooong time.
Or is the mid-ranged APS-C camera going the way of the dodo?

Wah!!! Juz came back from japan & already brought back the Buy-rus & poison. :bsmilie::bsmilie:
So any news on what sensor is this new A850? Same as A900 or using the latest Exmor? Video?
I'm more concern with the IQ, how's it compare with the 900, build wise not really an issue for meA850 Instruction Manual is leaked! http://www.css.ap.sony.com/consumer/hkmc/index.aspx?usr=p&c=en
So it is confirmed:
. FF 24MP sensor
. Pentaprism 0.98% coverage, 0.74x magnification
. 3 fps
. No pop-up flash
The rest are almost identical to A900.
The question now is, how much!

A850, everything A900 has except 3FPS and 98% viewfinder.
Again, many like myself will come to such crossroads again - APS-C or FF? And again I'll rather stay with my A700. Hate to lose 1.5x crop factor. I see it as a more convenient tool to use an APS-C body for both APS-C and FF lens.
Not going into APS-C vs FF debate, please! Been discussed to death everywhere.
If the rumoured firmware upgrade for A700 posted by OLDTIMER is true, that will be great. Only need the micro-adjust function to tweak on my A700. Really find that function practical on the A900.
I'll skip this A850.
