[Zerstorer]

Wonder if it belongs here or the Sony forum?

Well at least they are keeping the Alpha(Dynax/Maxxum) name as its known in japan.

they better not come out with a new flash system... else i going to be very pissed...

anyway, if they happen to come out with Alpha 9, i wonder if i could trade in a D7D with an F828 anot, den get a new 1, since i think i'm probably the most loyal Sony, Minolta user around... ;p

nothing much leh, its just like a teaser lor, like some incorporating old & new, den will have technological advancement and such...

den show a side little peek of the probable new body... with big red ALPHA!

As expected. Nothing new. It didn't come as a surprise. I am pretty sure Sony will continue to use A-mount though. Kudos to Sony and KM! :thumbsup:

Looks like 60 frames/sec technology to be implemented...:think:
Means....noise can be averaged out better.....and selecting best image from a set of 60 frames to solve shake problems......

I doubt that's the purpose of the 60 frames/sec technology. Many have believed AS will remain, some are very certain.
