Eisa (The European Imaging and Sound Association) has choosen the [shoplink 3003]Sony NEX-5[/shoplink] as best mirrorless camera 2010-2011. I believe nobody here will disagree with that decision :)
In the meanwhile one of our prefered websites Kurtmunger.com tested the NEX cameras (and compared the NEX-5 with the A700). Also Amateur Photographer posted a NEX-5 review.

Download the update here: MAC or Windows
Adobe also released Lightroom 3.2
All our most important sources confirmed that there will be no A77 announcement at Photokina. Maybe Sony will show a A77 prototype but they will definitely NOT launch the camera now. Anyway you don’t have to wait years to get the new semi-professional camera. The A77 is scheduled to be announced in January/February 2011. The sources told me that Sony needs that time to analyze the impact of the new translucent technology on the market. They are currently reviewing the press and pros reaction. They will certainly fix some of the A55/A33 limits. As you have seen with the MLU petition Sony is listening you.
The [shoplink 3228]Sony A700[/shoplink] successor will be a translucent model. The current prototype name is A77 (we don’t know if that will be the final name of the camera). The sensor is also new (the prototype has a 18Megapixels sensor).
One of my sources told me that Sony also has a A7xx with optical viewfinder. He doesn’t know if that model will be released.
Let Sony know what you want! Feel free to suggest me some more poll options. I will add them quickly!

After adding the DOF preview Sony also added Mirror Lockup! This has been one of the most requested “features” by Sonyfolk! As you might remember we had a Sony MLU petition (SonyAlphaRumors supported the petition). I guess your pressure did the job and Sony did the great job listening to you!
