I just tried the positioning with my A100. It doesnt feel comfortable at all . But then if the actual front grip is positioned differently that may change everything. Good spot though, could be a big compromise.

It would all be worthless if the cameras have different sizes. I mean...they may look the same now, and we can up/down-scale pics to bring them to the same size, but... what if that is a 3" tilting LCD?
That means the A-LV body is wider & taller than A200. Together with a deeper grip, the handling could be completely different :)

So are we more or less 100% sure this camera (A350?) and the A900 will be 'released' at PMA?

I am 100% sure they might be 'released' at PMA...

This is something i really have no answer .. but i wouldn't be surprised if a900 comes a bit later (may (or may not) be announced at PMA but will definitely come to market later). It may be just too much to see 3 cameras released at the exact same time :)
We may have questions waiting for answers !

Sorry, could't resist!

Back on topic, does anyone else think that the grip looks less comfortable?

Any chance of an alternating EVF/OVF ? is such a thing possible ?

I think the advantages of both EVF and OVF plus keeping your eye on the viewfinder would be great.

Why do I believe the A900 will be released no later than summer?

Sony has had a lot of press recently about it's sponsoring of events, and a recent deal with FIFA. 2 major events are upcoming in the Summer of 2008, the European Championships and Beijing Olympics. Both of which would be a great opportunity to show off what the A900 can do!

Of course, I will probably be wrong too!

Am I crazy, or does the screen size comparison picture with the red line not quite make sense? To me, it looks like the red line in the A?? pic doesn't go corner to corner. IMO the screen on the A?? looks a touch bigger.

It would be great though.
If Sony is capable in doing such a thing they will pull all the attention to them.

I am almost sure they will launch something between the A200 and the A700. (I gues A500)
Guess the reason they showed us the A200 now is because the higher model will take away to much attention from it.
Next to that, the gap is to big to leave it open for a longer time.

The A900 is also still possible, it looked so far finished on the latest pictures (although I couldn't find a way to open the flash unit?) And I am sure they will at least tell us some more about this camera.
Its almost impossible to show it a year ago...and just dont say anything about it now.

I personally think the Flip screen camera will take some more time (and will listen to the name A300).
I think this because it seems it (at least the grip) is not finished, think just an early model.

Cant hardly wait anymore.

A bit off topic, I do hope that A900 will be released in April as planned last year. : )

Whoooa there! What do you mean, THREE cameras at the same time? A200 is out of the question, since it's already released, so... A900, A-LV and... what? :)
