We just got out of a training on the new Sony Alpha A900 camera. Wow! This little gem is amazing. Built like a tank. 24.6MP full frame CMOS. 5 frames/sec burst. Wow. Dual flash memory card slots. It takes regular compact flash cards for storage and memory stick as well. The steady shot in camera works VERY well. The lighting was pretty bad in the room we were in and when I shot with it, things were razor sharp. The A900 weighs in at only 850g. Not bad for a rugged body like this one. It's a winner, folks!
The new flash was also available to play with. Model HVL-F58AM. It can pivot 90 degrees left or right on a horizontal axis, keeping the flash head in the optimum position when the camera is rotated from landscape to portrait position. Priced at $499.99
Roberts Imaging should see these close to the end of October at $2999.99.
Also coming soon from Sony, the Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* 16-35mm F2.8 ZA SSM priced at $1799.99 available January 2009. 70-400 F4-5.6 G SSM available January 2009 priced at $1499.99.
