DVXuser forum user “Someone1.00” was able to make a first step into Sony SLT and NEX camera hacking. He is asking for support: “If any community will be able to support me I will share algo and key.” I hope some of the smart programmers here are reading this and may can help him out to create a hacker group for Sony cameras. This would be amazing!
Loading ...Usi: “Here is my Antarctica expedition video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bh708rJeWRg. All done with the A77 and the Sony 18-250 with some nd and polarized filters. It is in Hebrew, there are English subtitles.
I received the A77 4 days before the trip – on Jan 2 – and didn’t have time to really learn the camera. But taking pictures and video in those extreme condition was great fun – I just forgot about my Canon camera and used the Sony.”
Troy: “All this work was done with an A700 and 80% Sony 16-50 2.8 and 20% Sigma 50-150mm 2.8 I love both these lenses and they compliment each other greatly: Picasaweb”

Trusted sources just told me that a new high end APS-C model is expected for 2013 only and certainly not for Photokina this year. The high end model for 2012 will be (and remain) the already super Sony NEX-7.
Sony NEX-7 price check at [shopcountry 8454]. If you own or (soon will own) the NEX-7 you ahve to pair it witht he superb Zeiss 24mm lens in Stock now at Amazon.
Last week we had some issues on the website because SAR moved to a new more powerful machine. And many missed to read the lastest A99 rumor which we got from an “A99 tester”. He sent us first a short report and than the answer to your questions:
Original tester report:
“The final production A99 doesn’t have a built-in flash lamp (Editors note: some prototypes with built-in flash were tested). There is a new hot shoe for accys so a special link is delivered with this camera. The Autofocus is really fast. The A99 (with non final firmware) has an ISO range of 50-25600 (Editors note: Final firmware will probably have a +2 stop push in High ISO). Camera is bit lighter than the [shoplink 3032 ebay]A900 (973 g with battery)[/shoplink]. The A99 weights 827g with battery. The Battery is the [shoplink 12939 ebay]NP FM500H[/shoplink]. The camera has no CF slot! It comes with two slots for SD/MS and [shoplink 12940 ebay]SD cards[/shoplink]!
Testers answer on your questions:
1) He can’t talk about the Image Quality of the camera yet. Firmware is by far not mature enough to make a serious discussion about it
2) Same for video :)
3) The tester confirms that there is no CF nor XQD support.
4) The new hot shoe and the special connector are there to make older accessories work (like the Sony HVL-F56AM)
5) The camera has built-in GPS
This is very likely a correct rumor! Thanks again tester for sending us this! :)

We have now some new products to show you today. First, we had that Sony PRO announcement tonight. We have the new PMW-200 that is neither an Alpha nor an E-mount camera. And than Samyang-Rokinon unveiled via facebook page that the: “Rokinon 35mm T1.5 cine lens will be available in U.S in few weeks and Rokinon 24mm T1.5 & 14mm T3.1 cine lens will be available in U.S in September.” They will come in Alpha mount too!
The image I posted here on top may not look that professional but what you see really works :)
This is the new Kipon EOS to NEX adapter that will allow full electronic control of the Canon EOS EF lenses on your NEX. Almost like you can do on the new Canon EOS-M camera.
“Manual” Kipon adapters for NEX can be found on [shoplink 5559 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].
