What’s on Sony’s mind for PMA?

After the leaked Sony DSC-TX5 waterproof p&s camera, I don’t really have any reliable information on what Sony will release for PMA. A replacement for the Sony α700 DSLR is expected, but it is really unusual that there hasn’t been any leaks so far.

There is a very low chance that Sony will release an EVIL camera for PMA.

Sony plans to design and develop laser-beam-steering based pico-projector modules to be used in their digital cameras. LBS projectors (such as the Microvision Show-WX) uses lasers as the light source, and a scanning-mirror to direct the light. Nikon were the first to introduce a digital camera with built-in projector (Coolpix S1000pj) and seems that Sony wants to the second in line.

There is also this patent application from Sony for a tilt-shift lens (patent applications are not guarantee for a future product).

    Some new lens will be nice. I want a tiny 35/2 for street photography.

    I think there is much point & shoot camera info and announcements now to that the show and the bigger ticket items will not drown the point & shoot cameras.

    PMA is not until Feb 21st, so I think there will be DSLRs announced, the billion dollar question is what, how many, and who is coming out with them (*Note: DSLR in this case includes these new fancy schmancy new compact with some sorta bigger sensors).

    Need some good leak at least.

    My sources say that Sony is going to showcase the replacement for DSC-HX1 during PMA 2010.
