I received many rumors in this days, about the next Fullframe camera, about the 7xx and about new Zeiss and G lenses. I want to thank all anonymous sender! Please don’t expect me to post your rumor quickly because I need to doublecheck them before to post them (don’t want to have a rumorchaos). If you want to stay in touch with me contact me on sonyalpharumors@gmail.com. I am the only one reading those emails. I suggest you to create a fake gmail account. That would make it easy for me to “classify” you as source and you will keep yourself anonymous.
Some tips on how to send anonymous messages and images comes form our friend from Nikonrumors:

IMPORTANT: Today or tomorrow we will install the new SonyAlphaRumors theme. We will need your help to fix bugs and add new features! Hope you will like it! The main purpose of the theme is to make content even more accessible and also to build a new Sony community ;)

The new rumor:
SonyAlphaRumors is pleased to share some new details about the next cameras! Four new APS-C cameras will be announced late August. All those cameras will be in Stock by September!

1) A55 (translucent) 16MP 10FPS EVF-1.44M 1.1X magnification 95% AVCHD full hd
2) A33 (translucent) 14MP 7FPS EVF-1.44M 1.1X magnification 95% AVCHD full hd
3) A560 14MP 7FPS MF recording AVCHD full hd
4) A580 16MP 7FPS MF recording AVCHD full hd

Those models will replace the actual Sony A550Sony A550Sony A550Sony A550Sony A550Sony A550Sony A550Sony A550Sony A550Sony A550Sony A550Sony A550Sony A550 (which has been discontinued in Japan!).

All four will feature a  HDR 6EV, 15 AF focus point, DOF preview, panorama/3D, ISO 100 (base). Let me say that I expect those cameras to be awesome and real competitor (if not better) of the Canon 7D. Autofocus during video recording is way faster than the Canon, High-ISO very very good and last but not least I like the new design :)
