A77 and the A750 two types will be the goal…with 18MP minimum is what I need…A99 and A950 will have 35MP minimum in the near future to speculate. 1080P AVCHD…the A77 is the A700 of old; not an A55. I like the translucent better than the old optical, because of the info that it gives instead of looking through the LCD Finder..you can’t do that with the optical. Some folks just can’t get used to change; they said 5MP was no better than 10MP 15 years ago; Now if you had 50MP; you could really see the difference in cropping and detail. Video is the market now, don’t expect it any other way. I won’t buy one without it. Don’t need a crappy camcorder too with 10x range.

In reply to Pascal.

Pascal,
The A77 would NOT be a Full Frame camera, but an incremental step from the A700.
This CMOS APS-C 18MP sensor seems to be a relatively new development at Sony, but there are many reasons to believe that Sony will try selling it to other companies too (as they did for the 14MP and 16MP version currently appearing under several non-Sony brands).

Hi,

thanks for the info. Do you have any idea what sensor would be used? 18Mpix for a FF sensor indicates that it is not a larger version of either A55 or A33. It is not the sensor in the A859 / A900 either.

Do you think Sony is building a larger pixel sensor specifically for this camera?

Cheers,
Pascal
