Dc.watch.impress.jp interviewed Katsumoto Tetsu from Sony. I read the interview 3 times and yes, there is nothing new to tell you.

The japanese blog dc.wathc.impress.jp posted some image samples taken with the Sony A550+30mm macro combo. Click here to read the google english translation.

P.S.: We noticed that most of the Sony news and reviews we find around the web are talking about the camera. Interesting or not?

The camera made it into the top 10 japanese DSLR sales (again)! http://bcnranking.jp/category/subcategory_0008.html
