SonyAlphaRumors found a new Sony patent (September 24, 2009 patent NR. 20090237493) which shows a digital 3D camera. The text clearly says that such tecnology will be used in video and still cameras (and use CCD sensors)
The Sony 70-400mm lens has been heavily tested by the guys from popphoto. The short sentence is: “An optical superstar, this lens is a natural for wildlife and sports.” Sounds good!

Sony is hard pushing the new monocular 3D videorecording. You can read the official sony press release on sonys japanese website. I suspect that the 3D tecnology could soon find his way in Sony digital cameras. Fuji has been the first to release a 3d photo camera (The FinePix REAL 3D V1)
Sony published the specs from the new SuperHAD CCD Sensor on their website! It will have no anti-aliasing filter, electronic shutter and a high flash sync with new anti-blooming structure. Better noise handling (+6 dB) and better microlenses design. The CCD sensor oals is to archive high resoltion and colors.
