Another wish spec-list has surfaced on the Sony A800. While doubtful, I thought I would pass this one along as well.
Sony A800 Specs (Rumor #3)
- 16.2MP full frame sensor exmor R (new technology)
- 100-25600 ISO
- 8 frame/sec
- SSI, same a900 OVF, new AF system,
- GPS and WiFi built-in
- 3.5 in. LCD display
- Pop-up flash
- Flash sync (1/500)
- Camera level
- 23 AF sensors
- Quick Live View
- Video Full HD
- Dust/splashes sealed
- Aluminum-magnesium alloy body
- Released early September, 2009
Seems a little ambitious to me . . . . I like the previous list better as specs that we might actually see. To be fair, Photo Rumors doesn’t give the tip any real credence either.

DSLR Magazine thinks so.
As published in our of our April 23, Canon shall, before the end of the year 2009, two new high-end professional models.
They go on to say that one of the models will maintain the smaller-than-full-frame sensor (i.e., the 1D Mark IV) and the 1Ds Mark III successor will be the expected evolution of its predecessor. With the new 1Ds, Canon aiming stronger toward the medium format audience, which will entail even more megapixels. Finally, the author points out a successor/alternative to the G10 will surface, around 9-megapxels though, with lower noise than the G10.

Firmware version 1.1.0 for the Canon 5D Mark II is now available. This firmware update adds the much-sought-after manual exposure control to the video mode, which expands the creative appeal of this camera even further. I’ve been tinkering with the updated firmware settings for the past little while and think it’s some pretty powerful stuff. [click to continue…]
