Just received this:

I was just at the Henry’s photographic show in Toronto today. I also spoke with someone at the Sony booth and they said that a major announcement to the product line will be made in 3 months. They would not confirm or deny if it would be a mirrorless, interchangable lens camera.

I bet Sony will soon announce their new APS-C mirrorless compact camera system!

P.S.: The Kindle Wireless Reading Device (international) ships worldwide! starting from tomorrow!
