Sony Alpha 500, now!

They’re here! A German site, DigitalKamera, started spilling the beans before the official date (or is it the official hour?).

So, Sony is really about to launch (as expected) the following DSLR cameras:

  • Sony Alpha 500
  • Sony Alpha 550
  • Sony Alpha 850

Among the most important or most notable news, I would immediately mention:

  • The Sony Alpha 850 will be positioned under the psychologically critical limit of 2000€
  • The specification of the Sony Alpha 850, already presented on YLovePhoto, is fully confirmed (still no LiveView).
  • The Sony Alpha 500 is inspired by the slim body of the Alpha 380.
  • The Sony Alpha 500 abandons fully the CompactFlash memory format in favor of both SD/SDHC and MemoryStick Duo.
