Joseph, we will let you know when ISO 25 and 34mp with an included vertical grip is entry level. XD

Will this be the entry level in the full-frame segment?

I think its a fake mostly because I can’t find it in the Sony website or Google. That along with all the typos and the lack of Super Steady Shot that is in the current models.

But the A700 comes with a free wireless remote. The other accessories could easily be included at the price point. Windows 7 will be out in the next few months and the beta has been out for quite awhile.

Why is “Steady Shot Inside” there? Sony has ditched it and replace it with “Super Steady Shot”, like in A500 and A550!”

False, from Alpha 200 all Alpha cameras says: Steady Shot INSIDE…

No at all…
The CCD is better to low ISO, DR, IQ and it allows electronic shutter for high speed flash sync.

Sony could sell a body camera with grip and one extra battery, but would put a higher price, is like to sell the a850 ($1999) for $2299 with grip + extra battery in the box.

The old Pentax MX had a 0.97x viewfinder in a ‘FF’ camera.

The a900 has 5 years wty with a very good service and some a700 has 4 years.

Is the same battery of a900 NP-FM500H and the a900 has 5fps, Dual Bionz and screw motor.

FAKE for following reasons:
- 5 Year Parts & labor and Gold Professional Service.
- 7.2V battery – too low for a Pro body – compare that to Nikon and Canon
“unless” you require two batteries in series to run the body = 14.4V or one battery powers body and the 2nd battery drives the AF motors in lenses
- includes a free Wireless Remote
- includes a free grip
- page supposedly from Sony USA – should have leaked from Far East first

Is Sony known for giving 5 year wty and free remotes and grips?
Nothing found on MasterChong’s site about this.

A 0.9x viewfinder in a FF camera? I really doubt it…

A FF with à 100% & 0.9 X VF ??
Woah !

Apart that and the 34 MP and the shutter at 1/12 000 nothing spectacular…

Is this Sony’s attempt at a Flagship Camera?
