What in the world is Sony waiting for?

[smtan24]

Looks like some button are missing. The Fn button is missing. From other picture I seen on the web either the ISO or Drive mode button is missing.

I wonder will they be selling the lens soon. They can easily sell the lens as it should be backward compatible with our old Minolta cameras.

buying a new lens soon?

wish to have a good news tomo morning when I boot up my computer.
wishes for minolta-standard price instead of sony style.
then I will hold my M gears for 11th year

 

[dr34mc4st3r]

probably have to wait till wednesday morning for full news, since US timing is many hours behind us...

Depends on whether West or East coast... if the ISO button missing then a bit sianz... I am basically hoping for a 7D plus better AF and flash system... and more robust electronics... like read CF card faster and more reliably...
