Rumor: First Look at Sony A500

Posted by Patrick on Aug 24, 2009 in Cameras, Rumors

A real good look at the Sony A500 from digitalkamera.de. It’s a bit more “enthusiast” than the A330/380 offerings, for one bringing back the more traditional grip. Other notables:

12.3 megapixel sensor
9 point AF
Dual Live View w/ Quick AF mode and 14x loupe
Face Detection for up to 8 faces
NP-FM500H battery from the A900
ISO range to 12,800
5 fps
3 inch 230,400k fold out LCD
HDMI out

We’ve got the google translated link to the article here, which also includes info on the A850 (A900 on the cheap).

    Good lord, so many cameras, it’s impossible to choose.
    Good news is that it’s virtually impossible to find a poor camera, so long as it about fits your purpose.

    Yes, lots of cameras, though some more exciting than others.

    Hi Patrick,

    Just wanted to let you know that Peter Burian has just published a review of the A500 and A550. Lots to like, little to dislike, he says.
