View Full Version : The Eagle Has Landed - A900 Deng Isais 09-09-2008, 11:36 PM It's finally here. But too bad I will be out of Singapore. :( http://support.sony.com.sg/sdw_promotion/jsp/dslr_reg.jsp ArthurLegardo 09-10-2008, 03:53 AM Deng, if you have a couple of hours, go for it! I just came back from a similar event here in Toronto. Sony brought 3 or 4 working bodies for us to play around with...as well as their entire lens line-up including the CZ 16-35 f/2.8 and the 70-400 f/4-5.6 G lens (both pre-production samples). Bryan_Inandan 09-10-2008, 04:55 AM in-body image stabilization = yum. $3000 for body alone (estimated) = ouch. ArthurLegardo 09-10-2008, 05:00 AM The price is competitive.

I will be in the Philippines during the launch. Anyway my good friend and guru is the Sony ambassador here. I will get a chance to play with his working unit hopefully when we meet. How does it feel to have finally toucuhed A900? ArthurLegardo 09-10-2008, 08:30 AM It feels good, very similar to the A700, but with a few extra bells and whistles. moiseslua 09-10-2008, 09:41 AM @Deng, can you bring your friend tomorrow with his new toy? :D :D :D MichaelLangner 09-10-2008, 09:49 AM It feels good, very similar to the A700, but with a few extra bells and whistles. Oooooh.... I just fondled, I mean, tested one too. Really really solid. I thought the A700 was a tank, but this is in a different league. You really feel like you could use it to defend yourself. :) It's easily in the same "indestructible" build category as the Oly E3. aldenaquino 09-10-2008, 10:08 AM dang megapixels! 24.6 mega efin pixels! abumagbanua 09-10-2008, 10:28 AM 3rd Q of 2008.. alot of new cameras from all brands :D :D vicoyrisma 09-10-2008, 01:47 PM The price is competitive. At $2999 for a 24MP full frame sensor, I'd say this is an understatement! :) jeffreybuot 09-10-2008, 01:49 PM alpha family http://images.alphamountworld.com/nohl/A900-preview/a900-complete-lineup-small.jpg my a100 is gone! :( is it a sign :) ArthurLegardo 09-10-2008, 08:04 PM More A900 product photos (and a few accessory photos) can be found here: http://dc.watch.impress.co.jp/cda/dslr/2008/09/10/9177.html and here: http://www.akihabaranews.com/en/news-16683-Officially+Official%3A+Sony+Launches+Their+New+a90 0.html |
