Sony Alpha A77 Video Is ‘Leaked’ Like Water Out Of A Tap

Whether or not Sony’s PR firm was behind this “leaked” video of the much-anticipated Sony Alpha A77 (and, come on, don’t bullshit me), it’s still video of the Sony Alpha A77. And it looks rad.

Will Sony’s Android Tablets Land In Australia Next Month?

Gizmodo AU

Looks like Sony will have plenty to talk about at Berlin’s big IFA electronics show in a couple of weeks. I’ve been invited to spend some quality hands-on time with a range of gear in Sydney, including: new Sony Readers and “digital imaging equipment” — could that mean new video cameras, or those leaked Alpha cameras? But what’s really got me curious is Sony’s self-described “highlight” of a “whole new product category.” Take this with a liberal helping of salt (because Sony certainly wouldn’t confirm it), but I smell tablets.

Sony’s 24MP Monster Reveals Itself

Sony’s A77 is a big boy, in and out. Shooting (rumoured) 24 megapixels of photo and unspecified “HD video” (we’re guessing 1080), details are sparse beyond that. But all that jelly is only expected to cost a grand or less.

I Wish This Translucent Sony DSLR Was Real

Technically, this Sony camera is coming out as the A77, but it certainly won’t have that clear body, which looks pretty awesome. Sony made this prototype to draw attention to the new translucent mirror technology found in the A77, which Ubergizmo says would allows for more advanced realtime autofocusing while shooting stills or video. The camera, which PetaPixel says will replace the A700, will also shoot 1080p AVCHD video and feature Sony’s Exmor CMOS sensor.
