    Rumors and the likes...

    So, how many of the Sony faithful have been following the rumor mill?

    Latest has the announcements/details for the two new mid-range cameras coming out on the 24th... A33 and A55... They sound pretty cool, but... Still holding out for the mythical a7xx camera...

    Anyway, the teaser info on these two:
    The A33 and A55 will be the first DSLR camera designed to take very good quality video, with unique fast autfocus for stills AND video (Phase detection AF during video!), and a 2 stop better High-ISO performance (than previous Sony APS-C cameras).

    More info over at the Sony Alpha Rumors dot com site... Always fun to speculate, but, they do have a good track record o things that they say they are confident about.. ;) What'ev that means...

    The rumors are fun and I believe that somrthing will happen in late Aug. and at Photokina, but I'll wait to see just what that is. Even that "confident" rumor this morning on Alpha Rumors started out saying 3 stops higher ISO performance and then was changed to 2 stops. TF

    I'm with ya on the rumors.... Yes, camera's will be chatted about, and we'll see some new ones sooner than later. As for specs and features, we'll see when we see.. ;)

    Honestly, I can't afford to get a new body right now or anytime real soon, so I'm not too worried about it. My budget is to be spent on a new tripod and head, and I still don't have enough time to do what I want with what I have already....

    In the meantime, its fun to read the chatter...

    I have been checking out sonyalpharumor.com nearly every morning. Speculation is fun but that site is very accurate compared to some of the others. Can't wait to see those new cameras
