The revelation by AmateurPhotographeur of the very serious possibility that Sony will extend the application of its electronic viewfinder (EVF) and semi-transparent mirror technology (SLT / Pellix) to the pro cameras of its SLR range reveals that the future replacement of the Sony Alpha 900 will hold the nice (!) name of Sony Alpha SLT-A99,…

Sony: SLT for all in 2011
Here comes an interesting remark from AmateurPhotographeur which lead us to read gain the photographs already available of the future 500mm f/4 APO G SSM from Sony. This pro-tele-prime lens announced a year ago by Sony includes a small DMF button whose meaning should be Direct Manual Focus. The use of this button would be…
Sony shows the Sony Alpha 750
At the CES (Consumer Electronic Show) which just opened in Las Vegas, Sony has not announced any news for the SLR photo cameras. Instead, they launched a number of point-and-shoot compact cameras. We could have stopped here, but the presentation showcases also include a model of the future Sony Alpha 750 (or whatever name the…
Will Microsoft buy Adobe?
photo credit: Microsoft Sweden The rumor started yesterday (Friday): Microsoft was on the verge of buying Adobe right off the market. The Adobe stock price shot up by 17% during the day (triggering an automated circuit-breaker to stop pricing), after the announcement of a meeting between Microsoft Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Steve Ballmer and Adobe…
Bad design for the Sony A77
Sometimes, rumours are really weird but they still have to be listened to and discussed. Recently, SonyAlphaRumors.com reported an “information” they received from an anonymous source that they indicated was new and possibly unreliable. To me, it was so weird that I thought it would not be worth mentioning (it is my role to filter…
Nikon D800: Possible features
Today, the leaks have been collected by our friends of Reportages Photo and they may allow us to discover some of the features of the next Nikon D800 (some believe that it will replace the existing Nikon D700, FX Full Frame photo camera famous for its excellent sensitivity coming from using a reasonably low resolution…
Pentax K-5, up front
From PentaxForums, here comes the front view of the upcoming Pentax K-5.
Pentax K-5, it’s nearly here
It should be announced tomorrow by Pentax, but I believe that it is now nearly completely leaked. When the Photokina opens its doors, the Pentax K-5 will be clearly in the open and it will no longer be a rumor. The latest photos I found are: We can expect that this camera will be walking…
Sony A77: Latest news rumors
Everybody expects that Sony will soon replace the Sony Alpha 700, the expert SLR camera of the Alpha line. However, it seems more and more unlikely that it will be presented at the Photokina fair of Köln, Germany on Monday. According to most comments and rumours, Sony will have a prototype under a glass dome…

Little Sony news
There are a few little sounds that come from people who know about Sony. First, and this is no longer a rumour, Sony has delayed the availability of the Sony Alpha 560 until beginning of 2011. The exact date seems a bit unclear (January or later?) and the reason is still unknown (production/manufacturing issues or…
Nikon D95 or D7000?
It seems a clear possibility now, seeing the number of comments about it. The replacement of the Nikon D90 that is expected to be announced by Nikon in a few days, before the Photokina fair in Köln, Germany, could be named Nikon D7000 (instead of the previously expected Nikon D95). We’ll see…
Sony: A toast to absent friends!
When they presented the new Sony Alpha 560 and Sony Alpha 580, yesterday, Sony published a family photo for the two Alpha and NEX ranges. Nobody is missing. But two products are obviously absent: The Sony Alpha 700 has been removed completely from the photo. There no longer is any 500mm f/8 mirror tele-lens (which…
Canon EOS 60D: only 2 days left
It seems that the announcement of the Canon EOS 60D will be done on September 26th. Until then, the feature list of the Canon ESO 60D is still a bunch of rumours. In parallel, we have to wait for what will probably be a set of two new high-end tele-photo lenses. Maybe two white pro…
Pentax K-5 and Pentax KR
Thanks to PentaxForums, we may actually know what the next Pentax DSLR photo cameras will be. As expected the most interesting camera would be the Pentax K-5, with a set of features putting it right into the competition for expert photographers. 16 MP APS-C photo sensor Sensitivity: ISO xxx-25600 Continuous shooting at 7 fps Launch…
Sony Alpha 33/55 – In detail
Instead of publishing all variations of the rumours in a continuous stream of useless information/news, I just opened the feature pages for the new Sony low-end DSLR cameras: Sony Alpha 33 Sony Alpha 55 I may do the same for other cameras in the near future, when I feel that the information is stable enough…
Sony, pre-Kina leaks
It seems that Sony is not as tight-lipped as usual in the preparation of the upcoming Photokina show in Köln, Germany at the end of next month. The offering is now nearly certain: 4 Alpha cameras and a set of lenses can be expected. They should be announced on August 24 (next week). Alpha 33…
Nikon D800 instead of D700s?
Digital Rev, which is not used to propagating false rumours (or any rumors at all, by the way) up to now, just published a small article explaining why there will be no Nikon D700s (a minor improvement over the current Nikon D700 Full Frame DSLR camera): It would not be powerful enough to kick the…

CNET Asia seems to have been observed while preparing the article for the upcoming compact point-and-shoot digital photo camera following the Canon G11.

Pentax now racing for an EVIL camera
Through a communication in the financial world (an interview with CitiGroup analysts), Hoya (the parent company of Pentax) revealed that Pentax would soon be presenting one or more mirrorless photo cameras. This is clearly a leak and not a rumor (communication of false information in such a financial context would be illegal and seriously frowned…
Glass at the Photokina
As we all know, the upcoming Photokina in September is already the center of rumours coming from all parts. I have been trying to give an idea of what could be coming for the major brands in the DSLR market, concentrating mostly on the new bodies to be seen. But there is no end to…
Sony Alpha 560 and Alpha 580
If you listen to PhotoRumours.com ramblings, it is now clear that the next DSLR photo cameras from Sony will be APS-C cameras from the Alpha series: Alpha 33 Alpha 55 Alpha 560 Alpha 580 The first two (Sony Alpha 33 and Alpha 55) would be entry-level cameras able to capture HD video and using the…
