seems like confirmed spec. there might be other details as well but still unknown at the moment.

A550 still unknown.

There's spec for A850 as well which will be priced much cheaper than A900. Changes are such as
- different top panel for housing (not fully magnesium alloy like A900)
- 3fps (but still have dual bionz)
- viewfinder coverage 98% at 0.74x magnification (A900 has 100%)
- some alteration to in-camera functions

so using exactly the same processor..i'd assume that the IQ would be exactly the same right..lol...saw some rumours in other forum saying that the IQ would be reduced...but since its using basically the same hardware..it doesnt make sense to me...

i wondering whether they'd put built-in flash like D700 =x at least i can trigger my F58 wirelessly b4 i buy another F20 =p

and the 3FPS part..does it apply to RAW? or only jpeg?

Sony A500
- A100/200/300/350 sized body
- max shutter speed 1/4000s
- 12mp CMOS
- ISO expanded up to 12800
- 9 AF point with double cross center
- 2 LV mode - main sensor (manual focus only?) & dedicated sensor
- 5 fps
- 3" LCD, but medium resolution
- expanded DRO levels up to DRO+5
- uses SD & MS card
- new grip VG-B50AM

could be well compete with Nikon D90 series
*
interesting spec. If it is priced around RM3.2k this will be a very competitive product line.
and the thing i most feared has come, all the lower end model uses SD card!!!

well, i guess existing CF user can have "reason" to go for higher end upgrades tongue.gif

Not sure how true is the German site, but the photo shows A850 don't have a pop-up

yeah, agree. Another points is that the top part of the camera will have a huge hump if pop-up is included with a large prism.

I'd still prefer A700 due to larger sized magnesium alloy body. After using A700 for a while, A200 feels tiny in my hands.

Now anxiously waiting the pricing for A850. If it's not much different from A900... I might just get the A900 for its superior built (although a700 quality built on the A850 is not that bad too).

for me if budget is not enough then no need hesitate and buy a a700 body....
if budget is allowed then wait for a500......
no matter how a700 still produce great IQ...

MemorableStudios: Are you sure you're doing it right? I don't have to post-process much or anything on the A900. At most it's clone stamping/healing brush (if the makeup artist didn't do a good job). Use Intelligent Preview to make sure you get exposure/WB/DRO right. Make sure you scan the borders of the 100% viewfinder to make sure there are no unwanted elements in the picture. Finally, if you shoot RAW, learn how to use the workflow to make your life easier.

If you want a soft effect without PP, get a soft filter. biggrin.gif

Why compare? The two are both cameras that can be used to get great pics. Just select the one that you feel most comfortable with and then go out there and take pics.

Although a great cam can make your life a bit easier, it's more the person behind the cam when it comes to getting great pics. The camera is just a tool. You don't ask a great painter what kind of brush he uses when you see one of his works, do you?
