I think they might end up going back on that decision. I certainly won't be letting go of my A580 any time soon. Whatever people think, photography is about getting light onto a bit of film or sensor. Why you would want to divert any of that light anywhere else is beyond me!

I agree. Sony is thinking more in the video than in the photography. They don't care about image quality anymore, it's better to have AF in video than the best IQ, even if no one that is serious about video is going to use it. The funniest thing is that they have the resources to make a limited niche market camera like the RX1, and not to make an A700 and A900 DSLR replacement.

I agree with you. I had to make a decision between photo quality and video quality when choosing My SLR. It is a stills camera first, Design for that purpose should take preference over any video capability. So I don't get auto focus in video? I hardly ever use it any way. And I would use my RX100 for that now any way. So for me I'll stick with the marvelous A580.

I don't get why people are still perpetuating the myth that it's all because of video.  It's to increase speed possibilities with AF in general, enhance live view options including speed,  less vibration and audible noise and enhance video capabilities including AF. In general a more seemless integration of still photography, LV and video, maintaining speed and a viewfinder view.

None of which may be important to you of course.
