The next entry-level SLR camera will be named Sony Alpha 290, apparently. It comes from a set of photographs leaked by Vietnamese www.Tinhte.com forum member dt0306.
This also gives some clues about the upcoming specification which makes it a major leak (or a major fake or rumour):
Sony Alpha 290 Specification:
- APS-C size 14 mega-pixel CCD sensor
- BIONZ image processor
- Image stabilization by sensor moves
- Sensitivity up to 3200 ISO
- 2.7-inch LCD
- Continuous shooting mode: 2.5 fps maximum (like the existing A230)
- Compatible memory cards: Memory Stick Pro Duo or SDHC
- Price about $530 including the 18-55mm zoom
and, to be as clear as possible here, no video capture on this camera.
