Dear readers!

I’ve been a little busy in this days. I had to shot a commercial with the Sony EX-1 :)

Anyway after having posted two successful leaks on SonyAlphaRumors.com (the compact cameras leak and the Sony DSC-TX5 leak) we are confident to know more soon about the next Sony cameras. If all works fine we will soon have little updates about the Pellix and Mirrorless Sony cameras. I can tell you…Sony is really preparing a massive attack!

Stay tuned!

The new card can transfer at speeds of up to 560Mbps (like the transfer rate of the new 802.11n standard Wi-Fi).Interesting: maximum distances of the two devices is 3cm. Sony wants to launch an 8GB version on February 5 for US $99.99.

The french website Alpha Numerique was so kind to remember us all that yesterday Sony Alpha celebrated his birthday! Exactly four years ago (January 19) the following press release informed us that Minolta is going to join the partnership with Sony:

I remember when Sony said that they want to become Number 3 in th DSLR world. They didn’t managed it to archieve their goals. But I am sure they are learning form it. They will surprise us all in 2010!

Yesterday we posted the Amazon US Top 20 chart. And today you can compare it with Amazon Germany and Amazon Uk charts.
Before you read the rankings keep in mind that:
1) Amazon charts do have many variables and are not reflecting the real whole US or Europe sales.
2) Amazon Europe has not always the best prices.
3) They are not that big in Europe
4) They have different deals than Amazon US
