Lots of cool things already mentioned on this forum. But this is the real deal for sure.

The picture that is circulating is correct. Two Knobs on top,
I have not seen any other pictures.

10.2 MP CCD with Super Steady Shot (AS) and Dust removal function.
3 FPS in jpeg, 3 FPS in RAW up to 6 frames.
Minolta Flash Shoe.
Both CF and Memory Stick compatible
2.5" LCD of course

Nothing else much new here and I was not allowed to "memorize" the whole thing.

What was super cool though was the picture of the lenses.....

I saw for sure the 16mm, 20mm! I recognized these from shape alone.

Further back there was two "white" lenses! Looked like the 70-200 APO SSM f2.8 and either the 200 or 300 APO SSM f2.8.

Sorry I could not discern any other lenses 100% but there were about 15 or so on the brochure.

The system map on the back looked exactly like the Minolta ones with 2 flashes a "56 and a 36" as well as 2 macro flashes. Remote cords were shown.

I asked about price for this model and he said it should cone in at just over $1000 Canadian.

They have a section in the store all set up for the camera and lenses. They are all going for training in early June. I asked the guy at the store about the next cameras and lenses and he said that he should ask about the upcoming products at the training session.

Well that’s it for now. I'll see if I can go back and take another peek if anyone has any questions.

Would u please check if there is a PC-Synch contact, for studio flashes, like the 7D?

Other curiosity: will it use the same bateries as the 7D, or sony will change that too?

Thanks
 
Did the brochure show what the back of the camera looked like? If so, what was the button/dial layout like?

Wouldn't it be nice if it was as noise-free as ISO 400?

Cheers!
 
My curiosity lies in the direction of just how is Sony planing on marketing their new baby;

-Mass-marketing to the Best Buy Electronic Box Stores?

-Boutique selling through dedicated camera shop retailers?

or

-Proprietary sales exclusivity sold only in their own "Sony" Shops?

Yes, this confirms my KM North Sea posting where I outline in much further detail the camera specs.
 
iso 3200 is very usefull especially in sports shots when we need minimal shutter speed.
To photos 13 x 18 or even more(10mp) it will be very usefull.
