The A850 is an unusual step for Sony that takes the full-frame, 24.6-megapixel sensor, sensor image stabilization and dual processors as the A900 but with a slightly reduced viewfinder that provides 98 percent coverage versus the previous model's complete image, reducing the cost. It continues to ha... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/27/sony.a500.a550.a850/ Thu, 27 Aug 2009 14:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/19/sony.32gb.memory.sticks/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0908/sony32gbhgpro.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Sony today announced the upcoming release of the largest capacity flash-based media storage cards in its recordable media range, with the 32GB PRO-HG Duo HX card and a 32GB PRO Duo card, both of which double the capacity of the current products. The former is made to work with Sony's Handycam camcorders, Alpha DSLRs and Cyber-shot compact cameras. The card has a 20MBps peak read speed and 15MBps p... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/19/sony.32gb.memory.sticks/ Wed, 19 Aug 2009 17:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/13/sony.m.stick.pro.duo.32gb/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0907/sonymemorystickpro32gb.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Sony started its week today by introducing its largest ever Memory Stick Pro-HG Duo HX card. The 32GB card stores twice as much as Sony's previous best and is treated as a particularly ideal fit for the company's own Alpha DSLRs and its HD camcorders: the latter could hold about 3.75 hours of HD footage on a single card. As an HX card, it's also relatively quick with 15MB per second write speeds... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/13/sony.m.stick.pro.duo.32gb/ Mon, 13 Jul 2009 12:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/25/sony.leaks.a500.and.a550/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0905/sonyalphaa330.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Sony on Monday inadvertently spoiled its own plans by revealing a pair of mid-grade digital SLRs. The electronics giant's Canadian warranty registration page gives the option for the A500, A500S, A550 and A550S; these are believed to be body-only and kit versions. Other references aren't available and so don't provide actual specifications.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/25/sony.leaks.a500.and.a550/ Mon, 25 May 2009 12:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/15/sony.a230.a330.a380.specs/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0905/sonyalphaa380.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Sony's upcoming entry Alphas have received full details through a product leak that briefly appeared on Sony's German page. The trio appears to be a minor optimization of the A200, A300 and A350. The 14-megapixel A380 headlines the efforts and promises a quicker autofocus in the live view on the swiveling LCD, dynamic range optimization to prevent lost detail in highlights or shadows and HDMI vi... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/15/sony.a230.a330.a380.specs/ Fri, 15 May 2009 15:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/09/sony.a900/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0809/sonya900.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Sony today at last branched into full-frame digital SLRs with the Alpha A900. The camera aims to outsize both Canon and Nikon with a 24.6-megapixel full-frame sensor, the company's first, that Sony claims is also extra-flat and has on-chip DACs that minimize noise as early as possible in the shot. The electronics maker also outfits the A900 with a 100 percent optical viewfinder and dual BIONZ im... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/09/sony.a900/ Tue, 09 Sep 2008 14:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/04/sony.a900.ad.leak/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0809/sonya900.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The upcoming A900 digital SLR camera from Sony will come with a 24.6-megapixel CMOS sensor, an ad leak from a Danish photography magazine has revealed. The details echo earlier reports, which indicated a 24.8-megapixel unit. The camera will be the flagship offering in the company's Alpha line of digital cameras, offering a full-frame Exmor sensor. The ad also indicates that the backside of the DS... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/04/sony.a900.ad.leak/ Thu, 04 Sep 2008 20:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/17/boxee.for.mac.alpha/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0806/boxee.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Boxee has released a Mac alpha of its ěopen and smartě media player application. The start-up says in itís blog that alternatives such as iTunes do a good job of pushing new content for download, but arenít ideal for storing existing content.

The camera, dubbed A900 until an official name is released, is likely to use Sonyís first full-size 24.8 megapixel sensor which would also be the biggest in the DSLR game. The new pro camera offers almost twice the image resolution of Sonyís current best-resolution Alpha, the 14.2... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/21/sony.a900.alpha.dslr/ Fri, 21 Mar 2008 18:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/01/sony.24mp.prototype.shown/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0802/sony24mpflagship.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Sony on Friday removed more of the mystery surrounding its 24.8-megapixel pro digital SLR by showcasing a prototype model that reveals some additional information about the camera. The Japanese firm refers to the new top-end model only as the "flagship" Alpha but notes that the actual camera will shoot at a slightly lower 24.6 effective megapixels due to sensor limits.
