First Sony A900 Ad Leaked – UPDATED – Now with REAL SPECS

Written by Eric Reagan on September 4th, 2008 | 6 Comments




UPDATED: The Sony A900 has been officially unveiled. See Photography Bay’s Sony A900 Announcement and Sony A900 Reviews and Resources for more info.

This is the first advertisement that I’ve seen for the Sony A900. It appears to be legit and coming from a Danish photography magazine. [via DPR]

It looks like there are bubbles in the ad featured with the A900, which are reminiscent of the Sony Foam City shoot in Miami earlier this year for images like.no.other. Perhaps Sony is extending the mileage of Foam City to the A900 as well.

[Update: Here's Ad # 2 leaked:]

The text in the ad reads as follows:

The new a900 has arrived. A new height in the “a” revolution is now within reach. Engineered with the exclusive 24.6 Mega Pixel Full Frame Exmor CMOS sensor, an industry breakthrough from Sony, this powerhouse integrates only the best imaging technologies from the world’s leading image sensor manufacturer. A work of art for the truly discerning individual.

24.6 Mega Pixel Full Frame Exmor CMOS Sensor – Dual BIONZ Image Processing Engine – Intelligent Preview – 100% Viewfinder, 0.74x Magnification – 3.0”, 921K-out Hybrid LCD – 9-point Centre Dual-cross AF (with f2.8 sensor and wide-area 10-point assist) – 5 fps Continuous Shooting – SteadyShot INSIDE

Also, Sony appears to have confirmed with some sources that there will be a new DSLR launched on September 10th. [via PC World] It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that will be the day for the A900.

Expect to see lots more A900 coverage as we approach Photokina 2008.

    [...] Voici la toute première plaquette de pub du Reflex pro Sony A900, repérée dans un magazine danois. Le Reflex à capteur 24.6 Mégapixels est à quelques jours de son lancement officiel, et Sony a confirmé un évènement à Tokyo mercrechi prodain durant lequel ils ont promis d’annoncer un nouveau Reflex. Malheureusement c’est pour l’instant à peu près tout ce que l’on a sur cet A900 qui doit faire frétiller les possesseurs d’A700 ou d’A350 prêts à sauter le pas.
