Appears to be official.

how of hab!
Ben indeed they have to transfer the thing…

Veiled the text with tears off:

The Alpha family increases. Sony raised the veil on the big brother of Alpha
100, whose career continues for the moment. Alpha 700 is a high case

of range which comes to be placed on the level of Canon EOS 40D, Nikon D300 and Pentax

K10D, under the terms of a chart cut for a practice photo projection.
Equipped with a sensor CMOS of 12 million pixels curiously similar to that

of Nikon D300, Alpha 700 is the first reflex camera entirely designed by Sony. It

do not disavow therefore the heritage of Minolta, which one finds the signature
in the technologies implemented: mechanical stabilization of the sensor,
EyeStart system… Among the characteristics in progress compared to Alpha

100, in addition to the definition of the sensor, one notes the autofocus which profits from one

detection on 11 beaches with a central sensor in cross, a sight more
comfortable offering an enlargement of 0,90x, a broad screen of 7,6 cm
posting a definition VGA and a Bionz processor of new generation, more

rapid and more effective as for the treatment of the background noise. Alpha 700 will be

marketed at the beginning of this autumn with the price of 1400 € naked case. In

choosing throw a top-of-the-range reflex camera, Sony gives the priority to
development of its public image rather than to the conquest of shares of
market, which does not prevent it from posting its ambition clearly to become

quickly uncontested N°3 of the market of the reflex cameras. Here are which predicts others

advertisements to come…


snow 05/09/07 17:03
the continuation (2)
Sony Alpha 700 in the broad outline:
- Sensor CMOS “Exmor”, 23,5 X 15,6 mm, 4288 X 2856 pixels. It seems that Sony
turns from now on to technology CMOS after having preached the CCC a long time
- System of stabilization of image by displacement of the sensor Super Steady

Shot. The system was improved and makes it possible from now on to gain 2,5 increments of

speed with the TV and up to 4 increments speed with a normal focal distance
- Mounting of objective Sony Alpha, compatible with the Minolta-A bayonets:
four new objectives are announced at the same time as Alpha 700: one

55-200mm f/4-5,6 with 250€, one 18-250 f/3,5-6,3 with 600€ and one 16-105 f/3,5-5,6 which

will arrive at the end of the year at 600€ only, or 1900€ in kit with Alpha 700. One

optics G 70-300 mm f/4,5-5,6 with motorization SSM is also in the course of
development.
- Bionz Processor of new generation. Sony announces an improvement
important of the overall swiftness of the case, but also an improvement

significant of the treatment of the background noise, which was one of the weak points of

alpha 100

- Obturation until the 1/8000s and synchro flash with the 1/250s without stabilization,

1/200s with SuperSteady Shot
- Recording of the images in JPEG, Raw, cRaw (compressed Raw) or Raw+Jpeg

- double slot CompactFlash (compatible UDMA) and MemoryStick Duet (double slot).

Alas, both slots CF and MSD function separately and must be
selected manually through the menus.

- Rafale with 5 images/second, on 25 sights in compressed Raw, 18 sights in Raw, 16

sights in JPEG Fine or continuous in standard JPEG.
- Screen TFT, 7,5 cm, 640 X 480 pixels. Contrast 2,8x higher than the screen of
alpha 100. There are not a black screen ACL and white: parameters of catch
of sight are posted on the color screen, which ignites and dies out
automatically thanks to the system of EyeStart detection.
- Sensitivity from 100 to 3200 ISO



snow 05/09/07 17:04
the end (3)
- Connections USB 2.0 and left standard HDMI C minijack. Alpha 700 belongs to
the great family of the products of electronics general public Sony: its
interfacing with the flat-faced screens High definition was thus envisaged.
- Food by battery InfoLithium NP-FM500H
- Robust Design with an aluminium framework equipped with alloy with
magnesium, with sealing off the joints
- Remote control/remotely delivered release of origin
- Handle-grip vertical with resumption of orders and double site of
battery in option (350 €)
- Characteristics: System DRO (Optimizer D-Arranges): mask of contrast
adjustable automatic on 5 levels of correction; function bracketing DRO.
Dimensions: 142 X 105 X 80 mm
Weight: 690g

Price: Naked 1400€ including all taxes, kit with 18-70 mm with 1500€ and kit with a Zeiss objective

18-80 mm and accessories dedicated to 2120€.


With good ours… and has you; O)
