What’s on Sony’s mind for PMA?

After the leaked Sony DSC-TX5 waterproof p&s camera, I don’t really have any reliable information on what Sony will release for PMA. A replacement for the Sony α700 DSLR is expected, but it is really unusual that there hasn’t been any leaks so far. There is a very low chance that Sony will release an EVIL camera [...] Related posts:

NEW: Ricoh GXR interchangeable unit camera system, changes lens & sensor together.



OK, now this is new. Ricoh has launched a new camera system that combines the lens and sensor in one interchangable unit. This allows for the sensor to be dedicated to each individual lens, eliminates dust getting on sensor during lens change, and makes the camera very compact. Available in December with two lens/sensor options, one of which is an APS-C sized sensor, should be very interesting.

Body only: $549.00
50mm f/2.5 Macro GR LENS with APS-C 12.3MP CMOS Sensor: $830
