The campaign has been developed to highlight Sony’s digital imaging technology, including the recently unveiled Exmor CMOS sensor. This enables Cyber-shot and Handycam products to capture detailed realistic shots in lowlight settings. Sony’s Alpha range of high-quality yet affordable DSLRs are perfect for more ambitious amateur photographers to capture stunning images from the event, in all conditions.

“Twilight Football is one of the most ambitious projects we have ever undertaken, with seven amazing games of football taking place in highly unusual locations around the world”, says James Kennedy, Brand Communications Director at Sony Europe. “We wanted to show the world what they have been missing when shooting images in the most picturesque light that nature has to offer. There is no better way to do this than by using the international language of football. This is an event to show real people the benefits of Exmor CMOS technology, giving them the opportunity to capture firsthand some of the most stunning locations in the modern world.”




PS: why i having a funny feeling ?
-a700 already bye bye...
-the word Seven seems to be quite often used.
-Last time a700 was launch on september also right ? 2007 ? if not wrong.

Ahmike : Hmmm. Meaning maybe new camera coming out? (:

SHOfrE3zE : Lol. If you get that backpack you dowan then give me la. =p

Confirm A500/550 will be coming by the end of this year, but I strongly had the feeling they will come in September. After that, no more new model until next year.

A500/550 should be D90 level.

I'm expecting new wireless flash protocol, like flash ratio control.
Price maybe similar to current a700.

yeah i saw the model naming at the sony canada site.... so funny everytime leak out from there 1st.

but let pray pray harder.... for a700 replacements.

yess..let pray together...itchy hand mode

Don't think Sony will come out with A700 replacement soon. I predict that they will push the next A7xx a step higher... probably entry level full-frame. But, that is if Sony intend to go totally different direction than Canon or Nikon.

There's a clue that there will be a new full-frame lower than A900 - the new Sony 28-75 f2.8 SAM ... sounds like a nice full-frame kit lens. But these would probably make it next year.

Ya wei. If wanna upgrade to a700 now its not worth it for me. Save for a700 replacement first. (:

I bet A500/550 will not have a pro body like A700 (magnesium alloy). And future A7xx might price at least RM5.5k (like A700 when it first came out).

Hahaha. If like that wait some more til a7XX drops til about 3k+ lo. Or at most get a a700 by then which might cost 1.8~2k? Lol if it's still available la.

if that the case, i will until current a700 user upgrade to FF..

Coog idea also hor. Hope all upgrade to FF. Then sell cheap cheap. (:

Last year Sony announced A900 at the Sony Alpha convention.. what about this year ?

a500/a550? Chup! This year's Alpha Convention when ar?

so its not the right time to upgrade to A700??
coz wanna step higher liao....
