Sony Alpha 500, 550 and 850

Sunday, August 30th, 2009

Three new Sony digital SLRs have been announced.

The Sony Alpha 850 is full frame and 24.6 Megapixel.  Impressive spec, and they say it will be available at a “compelling price” – but I’ve not seen what the UK price will actually be.  Read the press release here.  It should be with us in September.

The Alpha 500 has 12.3 megapixels, and 5 frames per second.  The Alpha 550 has 14.2 megapixels and up to 7 fps.  Both feature a tilting screen, and Quick AF Live View with face detection.  Both will be available from the end of October.
