UPDATE: Some of our readers have seen that picture before and it is a known fake!
Take it easy guys. That is a fake. Our sources didn’t tell us anything about a possible Sony A950 :(
Anyway we already know that the Sony A900

cameras do come with in-body stabilization so I am not sure if it makes sense to use the new lens if the image quality remains the same (that has to been seen).
We noticed at least two curious “poblems” if not “conflict between Sony and Amazon.
1) Phil Askey from dpreview wrote: “Having spent a considerable amount of time producing previews of both cameras we were slightly surprised this morning to see full reviews of the NEX-5 on another sites who were apparently given production cameras (which we were promised but never received). We only received pre-production models and honored Sony’s request not to publish images.” Important notice: Dpreview is owned by amazon!
2) Amazon US
As you can see here, Adorama, BHphoto and RITZ do list the NEX cameras.
There is absolutely nothing on Amazon
Anyway I believe in both cases we only saw a comunication problem between the two giants.
Few months ago SonyAlphaRumors revealed that Sony would announce a new low-end Alpha. And now we found the first images of the camera! The Sony A290 will replace the current A230
Google translation from the leaked text:
“Sony Alpha A290 is a familiar design, a combination of style with the convenience Alpha A230 Alpha A500 is designed to handle long, easy to handle than the design of the Alpha A230. Sony Alpha A290 using APS-C image sensor resolution of 14.2 megapixels, BIONZ image processor. Sony Alpha A290 full features of the Alpha A230 with a maximum sensitivity of ISO 3200, 2.7 inch LCD screen, sensitivity optimized DRO range, speed 2.5 fps continuous shooting. For novice users, A290 is the user interface with visual images, easy to understand. It uses a memory card or MemoryStick Pro Duo SD / SDHC.”

Toru Katsumotoe (Sony Senior General Manager) has been interviewed by ePhotozine.
The most interetsing parts are:
– no need to bring back-illumintaed tecnology on big APS-C sensors
– The A and E mount do not compete against each other (Alpha series will continue)
– The E mount distance from lens to sensor is 18mm and it needs to be at 44mm for A mount lenses to be effective.
– Autofocus should be working with the adapter and we have engineers still working very hard (maybe we can do it on a firmware upgrade).
