UPDATE: Under the request of the youtube video owner I had to remove the screenshot of the videos. The video itself aslo has been removed from youtube.com. At least this is a proof that this was indeed the new A99.

An anonymous reader just sent me a link to the video. It shows the National Geographic photographer Michael Yamashita in Yellowstone. The anonymous reader said the Hot Shoe looks different from the [shoplink 8461]Sony A77[/shoplink] and this camera may be the real A99. Watch the video onThe A77 uses a smaller Minolta Hot Shoe while the A99 will use a standard Hot Shoe. The lens should be the Zeiss 16-35mm f/2.8 UDPATE: Michael Yamashita itself posted a short message on Instagram (Click here) saying “shooting for Sony“.
Important UPDATE: it is the A99! Just check that picture found via Twitter. Click on it to enlarge. You see the “A99” writing on the strap? Lol! :)
