http://www.news.com/Photos-Sonys-new-flagship-SLR/2300-1041_3-6228624.html?part=dht&tag=nl.e703 Sony's new flagship SLRFebruary 1, 2008 4:00 AM PDT Sony announced its forthcoming "flagship" Alpha-branded SLR on Thursday at the Photo Marketing Association trade show in Las Vegas. Its chief defining feature so far is its use of a 24.8-megapixel sensor that's unusually large--the size of a full frame of 35mm film. That move makes Sony only the third digital SLR (single-lens reflex) maker, along with Canon and more recently Nikon, to aim for that part of the market. (the sensor is) mounted in Sony's Super SteadyShot housing, which moves the sensor to compensate for camera shake. (and the body) has a metal housing. karl
