According to two of our sources Sony should unveil the new Sony A850/900 firmware update by end of the next week. It’s Christmas time and Sony wants to push the full frame camera sales. Would be nice to see some price drops too ;)
We only know that exposure compensation, AF performance will be improved. One source said also the image quality will have a major improvement (but that hasn’t be confirmed by other sources). We don’t know yet if also the A700 will get a firmware update. If you know something please contact me at sonyalpharumors@gmail.com. Thanks!

New weekly japanese system camera sales ranking (BCNranking). Two NEX cameras into the top 10.
I received a few confirmations from other trusted sources about the NEX-7 announcement by early 2011. They confirm it will have a built-in Viewfinder and it will NOT have any in Body-stabilization. They also confirmed that the design is very close to the NEX-7 main competitor the [shoplink 4718]Panasonic GH2 (Click here to see that camera design and specs)[/shoplink].
We have a few unconfirmed specs from new sources. They are rated SR3 (which means there is a 50% chance they are correct):
– 16 megapixel sensor
– OLED EVF
– AVCHD recording
