David Kilpatrick noticed a “mysterious effect” of the NEX autofocus system. Look at the video above!
Nice catch David! By the way…I didn’t know you can play Benjo! ;)

Milions of cameras sold by Sony

Sony just posted the new “Q1 FY2010 Consolidated Results” (Click here to download the .pdf report). For the first quarter 2010 Sony had a sales growth of 3.8% and an operating profit of 67 billion yen (about 588 million€). In particular the division  “Consumer, Professional & Devices ” that contains the section” Digital Imaging “can come up with a sales increase of 7% to 889.5 billion yen (about € 7.8 billion). Sonys target for 2010 is to sell 23 million digital cameras! Bring out the new Translucent and A7xx cameras and you will reach the goal! ;)

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:

(just replace [at] with @ and [dot] with .) by using one of those free services:

• Anonymouse (email)
• Sendanonymousemail (email)
• Guerrillamail (email)

Anonymous image hosting (upload an image and just email me the link):

• Bayimg (images)
• Imageshack (images)
• rapidshare (images)

Thanks all!
