My feelings exact bro.

Prefer ISO & WB button over LCD on top, new video capability is waited by most.
Mirrorless system is a welcome also, confirm no in body anti-shake? If Olympus can do that, there shouldn't be technical issue for Sony to do the same. Unless they really want slightlysmall size body? But the lens can never be too small anyway.
When will the A900 successor out though?
If not allow to use older lens with SSS on mirrorless body and yet the adaptor is too expensive, less existing Sony user will switch to this and may consider other brands, as ther are not much cost advantage of keeping the same system.
I doubt more revenue is the reason for no in body IS.im just disappointed that The EVIL system doesnt come with body IS.
It could be that the body is too small to fit the body IS, but realistically thinking, im sure its for commercial purpose (lens IS = more revenue)...
Don't worry, all the lenses will be overpriced so you don't have to complain about some being cheaper because they don't have IS. That's how it is done, in M4/3.
Exactly the same thoughts, when Sony launches the build-in SS in body, many think that the it will be cheaper to own a setup with antishake. But all is wrong, the lenses does not cost cheaper but the same even more especially the CZ ones...
If you guys look properly, the body having the two screws which are almost the same design as the current sony full frame and A700. So i guess, it is made of magnesium alloy body. So still not that bad. Maybe they might add weather proof too? So source in website also stated that it might be the 1st 15fps dslr and 1st dslr which start video recording once you press the shutter button without delays. So just wait for the confirmation again.
Think it should still follow the a700 DNA to be at least with moisture seal. The 15fps & AVCHD recording would make it a real attractive buy.
Who knows, Sony may even get the press to try out the 500mm F4 with the a7xx during the world cup .
Yups, that what i heard from 1 of the beta users in singapore on that A7xx series. They said it's a sport dslr. So hopefully it is true.![]()
