![]() But the camera will accept the smaller Sony and Maxxum DT series of lenses designed for the D-SLRs with the APS-C-size (15.6x23.5mm) sensor. The A900 is ideal for use with a multi-platform Sony G, Carl Zeiss ZA, or Maxxum lens designed to project the large image circle required to fill the 24x36mm sensor. This feature is great for those who love ultra-wide image making and don’t want to buy extremely short lenses. I’ll still probably buy the A55, but I wont like it.Aside from larger pixels for greater light-gathering ability, the full-frame sensor eliminates field of view crop so even a 28mm lens provides a true wide angle effect. Software should roll-over a full card/interleave writes on configuration preference. Grip could hold an additional battery(ies) and additional multiple memory stick media slots… but grip shouldn’t replace original onboard battery. Shooting mode is such a waste – why cant I hit a button and turn the shutter/aperature wheel or go through a menu.īetter sealing of components… get rid of the flappy rubber and hide the usb port behind the card door or something.Īllow stopping the aperture down immediately after firing with the 2 second mirror lockup timer and not in continoius/predictive AF. The a100 multi selector was also a good design. Would be really cool to see a manual exposure compensation knob. No joystick, it will get dust in it and a dpad is fine. No HDMI, its just another port to let water short out the electronics I want the in viewfinder display to be dimmable and capable of all the important displays as you adjust them. I want a quieter faster shutter/mirror – like the maxxum 9 I want a display which stays off when I turn it off. I want to be able to instantly control AF zone selection: >9pt does not work – at least allow limit in software I want the biggest brightest viewfinder the camera can have: no EVF for me We may know as soon as tomorrow, as Sony has apparently chosen May 11 to announce the Nex system. I could be wrong, but I would expect we will see the Sony Nex models first, with a new full-frame dSLR (if there is one coming soon) following some time afterward. At the same time, a completely new camera system should have it’s own special day. I think a brand new top-of-the-line dSLR deserves it’s own special day. Some of the rumor sites are expecting an A900 replacement to be announced along side the new Sony EVIL twins. I would assume that there is a new flagship on the launching ways, and Sony will replace the A900 with something better. Unless you really, really need the faster frame rate of the A900, the A850 is a much better bargain.ĭoes this mean the A850 is the new flagship? I doubt it. ![]() The cameras are nearly identical, but the A850 can save you several hundred dollars. It could be a simple error, but I am inclined the rumors have at least some truth to them, I don’t have access to sales figures, but I would guess that A900 sales have flatlined since the introduction of the Sony A850. The site lists the top model as the A850. I couldn’t find anything expressly saying  the A900 was discontinued, but significantly, the A900 was not listed among the Alpha dSLRs offered for sale. Several rumor sites are claiming that Sony’s Hong Kong site is listing the A900 as discontinued.Ĭurious, I checked the site myself. End of the line for the A900? If you’ve been caught up in the excitement of the imminent Nex-3 and Nex-5 EVIL cameras from Sony, you may have overlooked the bells tolling for the A900. ![]()
