Xatakafoto.com (spanish) has taken a screenshot from the new Sony mirrorless teaser. Analyzing the screen you learn following about the camera:

Integrated Flash in auto
AF-S mode
Filters?: “FH Movie”
Face recognition
Object tracking (focusing)
Some kind of image stabilization (or lens IS indicator)
Easy modes (Olympus Pen LiveGuide-like): Background Defocus
Shooting tips (like Olympus E-PL1)
Easy menus (icons, feature guided)

Finally some good news!
According to our sources Sony will officially release the new mirrorless camera system in May! Honestly that’s earlier than I expected.
Three trusted sources confirmed that rumor. One of them is the same source which told us about Sony unveiling mirrorless mockups and the A7xx prototype.
In this case we are 99% certain that rumor will become true!

As soon as we have detailed final specs of the cameras we will give it to you!

P.S.: Yesterday we told you that the new firmware for the Sony A850 and the Sony A900 have been postponed until May.

He expected the official release for late March. The same source contacted me again and told me that the release has again be delayed. He didn’t gave me any reasons for the delay.
Also a second trusted source could confirm this rumor so I guess there is no way out form that bad news :(

I didn’t post a lot in this days. I have been really busy and I also had to transfer the SonyAlphaRumors website on a new server. I still have some job to do but I will start now to post the latest Sony rumors and news.
I had the chance to talk with some of my sources. I have a bad news and a good news. I will post them soon…

K-rumors.comShare/Bookmark]]> http://sonyalpharumors.com/new-sony-website-for-the-future-mirrorless-cameras/feed/ 1 (FT5) A very small rumor….Sony is going to surprise us (in positive) http://sonyalpharumors.com/ft5-a-very-small-rumor-sony-is-going-to-surprise-us-in-positive/ http://sonyalpharumors.com/ft5-a-very-small-rumor-sony-is-going-to-surprise-us-in-positive/#comments Sat, 06 Mar 2010 17:03:09 +0000 admin http://sonyalpharumors.com/?p=1584 What I am going to post you now is only a small rumor but it is coming from my very BEST source. He just told me that “Sony didn’t show everything on PMA. Expect something more to be unveiled soon” and “no mockups…REAL stuff!”
I am consciuos of the fact that this is a vague rumor but I was not able to get some concrete infos. Anyway I have choosen to post the rumor because if he says that something is coming then I know that we should expect that this will really happen!

UPDATE: I have no clue how soon… “soon” is. And the speculation below is just my personal speculation. May I am wrong with it.

My bet is we could see one of the following new cameras:
- A new Fullframe Alpha camera
- The real the mirrorless cameras

Sony will present the new products at the CP+ show which is held in Japan on March 11. Probably Sony is going to tell us a little bit more about the mirrorless and Exmor HD cameras.

One month ago in many forums people started to say that Sony could release the long expected firmware for the A850 and the A900. We didn’t hear anything form our sources so we posted the “rumor” with a low value “SR2=from unkown sources”.

What we post now is a rumor from one of our trusted sources. The Sony A850 and the Sony A900 will be released in March!

I really hope Sony has been able to address all the critics we read in the forums during the last months!

UPDATE: I have no details about the new firmware. I was only told that it will be a “major update”.
