Adobe is fast! They just released the new Adobe Camea Raw which not only supports the NEX3 and NEX5 cameras but also the just announced A33 and A55 cameras!
Support for the following cameras has been added in this update:
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!

As you know we started a new SonyAlphaRumors section. Many manufactors are building more and more adapters for E-mount cameras. And we want to see how those third-party lenses do work on our NEX cameras! I would be happy if you send me your images taken with third party lenses and also some nice cameraporn pictures :)
Today we show you the Voigländer 35mm and 40mm f/1.4 lenses. They are both M-mount lenses so you need to use [shoplink 3491]the Leica M-mount to E-mount adapter (just click here to check out the whole list of available adapters on eBay)[/shoplink]
[shoplink 3717]The Voigtländer 35mm f/1.4 lens[/shoplink]
Let’s start with the cameraporn: An image of the Sony NEX-5 + 35mm lens is available here at Flickr and here again at Flickr. As you can see it’s a pretty compact and nice combination!
Image samples are available at Flickr.
To buy the lens and for price informations just [shoplink 3717]check out for current eBay auctions (click here)[/shoplink].
[shoplink 3718]The Voigtländer 35mm f/1.4 lens[/shoplink]
We found some nice images on Clubsnap. Pictures were taken handheld, edited but without noise reduction done. All taken at f/2-2.8 aperture. There is also one image on Flickr
To buy the 40mm lens and for price informations just [shoplink 3718]check out for current eBay auctions (click here)[/shoplink].
Do you have some more image samples or camerporn pics to share? Comment this post or send us an email!
Updated: this Is an old rendering of the [shoplink 3228]Sony A700[/shoplink] successor. We found it on Xitek (a chinese forum). You can see the new Sony Zeiss 24mm f/2.0 on the left of the camera.
P.S:: Thanks for sending us the link!
Sony UK do mark the [shoplink 3028]Sony A850[/shoplink] as a “PREVIOUS MODEL”. I checked oder sonystyle stores and couldn’t find similar results. Don’t know if that is just a BIG mistake. We from SonyAlphaRumors didn’t get any rumor about a Photokina FF introduction. But we really don’t know everything from Sony!
UPDATE: J. from UK phoned Sony: “They told me that both models are discontinued (previous model). They have NO A850s in their warehouse and 2 A900s left in the UK. So does this mean that Sony really are withdrawing from the FF frame market or does it mean that they are going to reveal something unexpected between now and Photokina?”
P.S.: All important stores do have the A850 in Stock. I found a new Sony Alpha 850 $55 price drop on Amazon
