that depends wor... R1 comes with Carl Zeiss lens... and its those simple to use, rotation type of LCD panel... 5D however comes with a kit lens...

Another thing is that R1 is all in one while Dynax 5D need other lens to carry on. No video for 5D also n live preview etc... Therefore, R1 still having those expensive price tag while 5D, only a camera, nothing else. ;)

I need no rotation type LCD panel, I need no movie mode or all the funny bells and whistles.

Juz show us the fast AF, AS and intuitive controls like the old Dynax! Yoo hoo~~~~
 

how about this?

If thats what they can come up with, its a big joke..
:sweatsm:
 

Some claim is a fake in DPreview, certainly looks more like a 5D replacement than the 7D. Well, I can't tell it's fake or real :sweat:

With that size, it seem to be slightly smaller than KM 5D. I don't like the lens grip design though.
 

i wunder if this would be thier lens line up?

Filing all patents
needed to protect their intellectual property
from being infringed by others

this time if anyone tries to do a V(?)(?) on them, Sony may hit them like a thunderbolt. a $$$ lawsuit.

anyway that story is over.
VCRs are obsolete.

many threads from various forums point to a summer release of its alpha dSLRs (likely june). now it's almost a week into May and we still got no news from sony? ;(

isn't it better for sony to release it's product info now and let discussions and interest build up in forums all over the net?

wonder what's up with the secrecy :think::dunno:

secrecy is a form of marketing strategy that is used in the buiz world frequently.. think of all the rumours about ur electronic gadgets like hps and mp3 players etc..

by trying to be secretive, this will make the reader interested to know more abt the product, and will ask around to see if others know about it, and from there, an emerging group of people will become curious and spread the word around..

u see in this thread, just by the threadstarter asking the question abt sony's alpha, so many people go everywhere dig up pics etc. and help to inform this product to so many people already.. and they habnt start any out-marketing campaign besides the press conference..

talk about marketing in the new economy :thumbsup: (as of the time i wrote this reply, 956 users have clicked and know more about this dslr by sony in a matter of less than a few days, imagine the audience reached by june...and considering that a lot of ppl everywhere are asking..)

MTL, lets go get .....R ta..ta..ta...ta..ta...ta... together...
:devil:
 

It probably will be a big disapointment. (I hope they will surprise us with good stuff).
Price, no way I am shelling out US$3K even if it weather seal 9 body. If it is not a 9 body, I probably will not buy anyway. So, as far as I am concerned, SONY better get it right if they want to keep the loyal Minolta lovers.
If they think they are going to compete with N and C on the high end with high end price, it would be loosing battle as far as market gain goes. Only people they succer in would be us Minolta fans (well maybe sony fans as well). They would probably sale low end DSLR more to their SONY base though.
 

Just another 25 days and we'll see what Sony has to show.
 

I'm curious if the release date is 06-06-2006. That would mean some shops would have ordered them. Does any of the shop have these cameras?
 

now there are rumours at Sony forum in DPreview claiming the new 5D replacement will be 10 Mpixels :bigeyes: selling at US$1000 :think:
Wonder how many Mpixel will there allocated for the 7D replacement then :dunno:
