This is the full press release for the new Sony a57 SLT camera. B&H is already taking pre-orders for the a57 body only for 699.99.

SAN DIEGO, March 12, 2012 — A wider palette of creative options is now accessible to more shooters with the α57 camera, the newest addition to Sony’s popular line of A-mount cameras employing Translucent Mirror Technology.
