   I’m sure new A500/550 will have exmor-r …and FF A850?

   If the A850 is sub $2000 and has better noise handling than the a900 with exmor-r, I’m definitely sold.

   The A850 will not have the Exmor R sensor. It has the same 24.6MP sensor found in the Sony A900 and Nikon D3x.

   The webpage referred actually says:

   “This feast of football celebrates the launch of new Cyber-shot, Handycam and α DSLR models featuring the Exmor CMOS sensor; and Sony’s commitment to the world game as an Official FIFA Partner.”

   If it originally said “Exmor R CMOS sensor”, then the “R” has been removed

   from dyxum:

   After reading the Australian twilight football link that mentioned Sony Alpha Exmor-R cameras at the event I emailed Sony PR Office and got this reply this morning:

   Hi Steve

   Thanks for your email about Sony’s Twilight Football competition.

   Unfortunately this was an error in the copy, there will not be Exmor R Alpha models at the event. There will, however, be Exmor models such as the A900.

   Don’t hesitate to let me know if you need anything further.

   Kind regards,
   Kelly

     I saw this post – I just did not know what his source is, but the $2k FF A850 sounds plausible based on previous rumors.
