I wanted to share my story with you guys about my puppy. The afternoon my puppy was born it died because of premature birth. It was a unfortunate evening and properly i couldnt even give her a name. Very sad day for me.

Uh… searching through the numerous web articles, I’ve seen that Sony is offering a 24MP sensor. Maybe a little more pricey than the 5D then…

Now that a Sony full frame DSLR is a certainty, I’m holding out and hoping that the price is impressively low. I currently own a Fujifilm S3 Pro with a couple of mid spec Nikon lenses, and my heart was set on the D300 until I heard about Alpha models’ backwards compatibility with Minolta lenses.

Everybody knows that a full frame DSLR with so-so lenses will outperform any small-sensor camera with even the clearest, most beautiful lens attached. And my bet is that with Sony’s history of dominating the market by offering staggering good value, their pro spec newie will have a more impressive pixel count than Nikon’s flagship D3, autofocus to rival and a street prices less than Canon’s tired old EOS 5D. Just watch.

For the cost of a D300 and and a couple of pro quality portrait lenses (say an 85mm f/1.4 and 135mm f/2), I’ll likely be able to buy a full frame camera and an exhaustive range of secondhand Minolta glass. As a former film user who hates using liveview to compose a shot, the full size viewfinder will be little short of a Godsend. Bravo Sony, the only electronics manufacturer who has the foresight to build a huge userbase by selling in the initial at a loss. It certainly worked for their PlayStation machines. I reckon Sony will quell the digital photography market when this launches.

Sony and Pentax (K20D) are presenting full frame DSLR’s in january 2008, Nikon has already presented the D3 full frame. Possible also Leica comes with a R10 full frame and Canon with the 6D.

The end of the APS-C is coming sooner then expect

[...] Some months back, I wrote that I expected the so-called “flagship” Sony Alpha (possibly named the A900?) to carry a full-frame sensor. I still believe that to be true, however I’m hedging my bets a little. It will be “almost” full-frame or “close” to full-frame. It may not be the actual size of a 35mm negative, however, which is the definition of a full-frame dSLR to most photographers. [...]

Hey Phil –

Thanks for checking in. The new 12mp, APS-C sensor, A700 (http://alphatracks.com/archives/category/sony-a700/) has just been released (October 2007), but we’re probably going to have to wait until 2008 to see the flagship model, which a lot of folks are already calling the Alpaha A900. Sony hasn’t revealed the name, so we’ll have to wait and see.

I’m expecting it in the early part of the year — probably around the time of the PMA show where we saw the original mockup. That’s just my guess — Sony hasn’t given us anything other than “next year.” See http://alphatracks.com/archives/80 for an off-site link to an interview with a Sony manager who tells us that the release of the flagship model and the A100 successor on on schedule.

Thanks for your input. Check back again soon! — Tom

So it’s still not out? I’m an old Minolta 35mm fan from way back and loved it.

I was hoping to get to the next line and see the report, and it was just this empty box I ran into.

I’m currently with a Canon 30D, and a few L glass, and a collection of other gear of Contax.

I’ll check back, and thanks’

[...] So unless you expect Sony to use this sensor in the Alpha Flagship SLR, the only logical camera is the still unnamed Advanced Amateur model. Since I’m betting the Flagship will be full frame (or at least nearly full-frame), the only camera this could be used in by Sony is the AA model. [...]
