Differences appear to be minor, but they are there. So maybe this is not the flagship, but the Mythical A800/750/7DII.

Interesting to see yellow and red/orange markings. I am guessing they mark the variations in the cameras.

Since we've mentioned CSI, I wouldn't give a job to either of you guys! that 'yellow' sticker isn't yellow at all! If you look closely you can see it's reflecting the grass like the side of the lens (which isn't yellow or green either). It's most probable that the sticker is grey or thin white. The red one is red however!

Personally I think it is the EXACT SAME camera, angle and light tends to play a lot in perspective, and when comparing all the buttons, measurements between the two, same cam.

They look like the same camera to me, I think the angle is the same, its the lighting and angle the shot was taken at that's different.

I love to hear what's being said behind closed doors at Sony about this thread
A900, 16-35/2.8Z, 70-200/2.8G, 85/1.4Z, 28-75/2.8, 50/1.7, 56 & 20 flash, too many bags!.

Looks the same to me.

Hey, D700 is $3000 .   Woohoo.   I no longer think the A900 will be $3500, I'm going with 3k tops. Thank you nikon.

Here's a good monkey picture with a similar posture if anyone wants to put the camera on him. I'll be entertained too!!!

A900 user

If someone can edit an A900 into that from this shot, I would love it.


LOL. I have to say, that I wish someone more competent could have taken this picture. I kind of feel like a sasquatch spotter. Blurred photo and all.

I did not see this gentleman actually use the camera. Looking at online pictures of the mockups, the big change does seem to be the left hand row of buttons, and the angle of the rear ports. The mockups seem to be more round, a la A700.

But another giveaway is the angle (or lack of angle of the left hand mode dial). It is flat, i.e. right angled, like the mockup, not angled askew like any of the current Sony dSLR's.


I didn't get to see the top LCD though. Dang.

wait...

it looks different than the A900 prototype.
- the buttons on the left side of LCD screen
- the body shape on the left side is more boxy

could it be another camera?

Nikon D700 is a hint
