Sony Alpha900 DSLR Now on Pre-Order, Due 30th October

Sony's much anticipated mahoosive 25-megapixel Alpha900 DSLR has just popped up on Sony's SonyStyle sales website on pre-order. It's $3,000 with a delivery date on or about the 30th of October, but that looks to be just for the camera body alone: lenses are extra. [SonyStyle]

Sony a900 24.6-Megapixel Full-Frame DSLR Official, Only $3000

A day before we expected, Sony's 24.6-megapixel full frame DSLR, the a900, just quietly got official. Shockingly, while it doesn't touch the $2000 mark, it slides in at just $3000. Billed as rocking the world's highest resolution 35mm CMOS sensor, it's the first full-framer to use in-body image stabilization (Sony's SOP). Unfortunately, as DP Review's sample gallery makes clear, all those pixels make for a touch of noise, especially compared to Nikon's D700. More »

Sony A900 Ad Leaked, Actual Camera Coming September 10th?

Here's the first print ad for the Sony A900, spotted in a Danish photography magazine, enjoying bubbles like an 8-year-old girl. But if that's still not enough to convince you that this 25 megapixel SLR is just days from release, Sony has confirmed an SLR announcement during a Tokyo event next Wednesday. Short of bribing Mr. Sony knocking on your door with an A900 in-hand, this is pretty much the best we can nail things down for the time being. [DPReview and PCWorld via Photography Bay]

Sony a900 25-Megapixel DSLR Spotted in the Wild?

We are starting to butt up to Sony's flagship a900 DSLR's release date—August or September, though Sept. strikes me as more likely—so it makes some sense it'd be spotted prancing about in the wild. It's hard to be certain it's an a900, but the spotter says three things made it stand out from other Sonys: the optical viewfinder, the thumb rest, and the side ports. (Compare with the a350 and a700.) Either way, we'll be seeing more of this full-frame 25MP monster soon. [Dyxum, Thanks Dario!]

Sony's Next Gen Alpha A900 DSLR: 25 Megapixels, Due By September

Sony's Alpha A900 practically blew us away when we first had an opportunity to grope it, which was way back during PMA '08 in January. Well, it looks like the Sony lads are again showing off their 25MP full-frame pro sensor toting DSLR in Japan, along with a launch date of August/September. Our pals at Master Chong were able to grab a whole slew of new images of the device, as well as shots of the neat looking, clear-bodied iteration pictured above. [Master Chong; Thanks, Felix]

Sprint's RAZR Killer

We don't have a branded image for you yet, but Sprint Nextel and Samsung have teamed up to bring out the A900, an ultra-thin cellphone, hoping to finally put a dent in Motorola RAZR sales. And to make sure Sprint users won't have a choice, Sprint Nextel's chief operating officer Len Lauer mentioned that the company won't be selling the RAZR along with the new phone and that they should have exclusive rights to the phone for at least one year. We'd also have to assume that the A900 will also use the new Sprint wireless music download service, making it a multimedia phone as well. No pricing as of yet. More »
