Toru Katsumotoe (Sony Senior General Manager) has been interviewed by ePhotozine.
The most interetsing parts are:
– no need to bring back-illumintaed tecnology on big APS-C sensors
– The A and E mount do not compete against each other (Alpha series will continue)
– The E mount distance from lens to sensor is 18mm and it needs to be at 44mm for A mount lenses to be effective.
– Autofocus should be working with the adapter and we have engineers still working very hard (maybe we can do it on a firmware upgrade).

During the past exciting days people all around the world have sent me links and rumors. It is your help that makes it possible to have a website like SonyAlphaRumors which can provide you with the latest and often unique rumors and news.
SonyAlphaRumors has been the first to find the name, the specs and the pictures of the Amazon Österreich
The SonyAlphaRumors website will have new features and a new design soon. It will be the result of your suggestions and critics (which often push me to make things better).
I’m still learning and I will always need your help to grow.
I slept 3 hours last night and I am tired. But I can’t go to sleep without saying thank you for your help. It is a pleasure to work with you!
Good Night!
Andrea
P.S.: And “chapeau” to Sony. I never thought they could make such a small camera despite the bigger sensor than MicroFourThirds!
