Conflicting reports about the new Alphas. Will they have video or not?

Share

Sorry guys I have to make a step back. After posting the latest rumor about the upcoming entry level Alphas I received some conflicting reports. It seems that there have been some doubts with the new Alphas having videorecording or not.

Let’s start with the key-points where everyone of my sources do agree:
All of them do confirm that new announcement about still cameras will be made at NAB (April 10-14). All of them confirm that we are talking about APS-C cameras. And all do confirm that there will be no A7xx.

But I have to “suspend” the rumor which told you that they will not have video. I ask you more time to get some more reliable information about that.

UPDATE: Mirrorless cameras will come in May. They will not be launched on NAB!

First detailled Sony A450 review.

Share

The Sony A450 almost disapperead from the scene. Not many magazines and reviewers are talking about it. The very knwon korean website SLRclub tusted the camera. The bad news is that they always post their review as an image (.jpg) so you can’t run google translation over it :(

Anyway take a look at the images and comparisons!
