if it is semi transparent yet moves then it seems useless nd if it doesnt move thats just another layer of glass that will affect image quality.]]>Aug 13th 2010 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/sony-circles-august-24-for-all-new-alpha-dslr-launch-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/sony-circles-august-24-for-all-new-alpha-dslr-launch-event/http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1037&message=36017951

It's so you can have light hitting the imaging sensor and still be able to use a standard phase-detect auto focus system for better AF response. So main sensor live view with full on SLR style phase detect AF.]]>Aug 13th 2010 4:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/sony-circles-august-24-for-all-new-alpha-dslr-launch-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/sony-circles-august-24-for-all-new-alpha-dslr-launch-event/Aug 13th 2010 9:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/sony-circles-august-24-for-all-new-alpha-dslr-launch-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/sony-circles-august-24-for-all-new-alpha-dslr-launch-event/

What they dont mention is the blood splatter on the camera...]]>Aug 13th 2010 1:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/sony-circles-august-24-for-all-new-alpha-dslr-launch-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/sony-circles-august-24-for-all-new-alpha-dslr-launch-event/
Their current lineup goes: very low end APS-C - low end APS-C - mid range APS-C - mid-to-high full frame - high end full frame.

Seriously, the price jump between the A550 and A850 goes from like 9000 dollar body - 3000 dollar body.]]>Aug 13th 2010 10:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/sony-circles-august-24-for-all-new-alpha-dslr-launch-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/sony-circles-august-24-for-all-new-alpha-dslr-launch-event/

Probably because until I took a look at the Sony website, I didn't know it existed. Most camera stores I've been to stock the A550, then the A850.

But I do apologise for my mistake. ]]>Aug 13th 2010 12:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/sony-circles-august-24-for-all-new-alpha-dslr-launch-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/sony-circles-august-24-for-all-new-alpha-dslr-launch-event/
Bit surprising they'd phase it out without having a replacement ready, to be honest.]]>Aug 13th 2010 12:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/sony-circles-august-24-for-all-new-alpha-dslr-launch-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/sony-circles-august-24-for-all-new-alpha-dslr-launch-event/Aug 14th 2010 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/sony-circles-august-24-for-all-new-alpha-dslr-launch-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/sony-circles-august-24-for-all-new-alpha-dslr-launch-event/Aug 13th 2010 10:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/sony-circles-august-24-for-all-new-alpha-dslr-launch-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/sony-circles-august-24-for-all-new-alpha-dslr-launch-event/Aug 13th 2010 10:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/sony-circles-august-24-for-all-new-alpha-dslr-launch-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/sony-circles-august-24-for-all-new-alpha-dslr-launch-event/Aug 13th 2010 10:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/sony-circles-august-24-for-all-new-alpha-dslr-launch-event/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/sony-circles-august-24-for-all-new-alpha-dslr-launch-event/
