Rumor: Sony (A750) 14.6 Megapixel DSLR Full Frame Sensor Specifications

It seems that relatively soon, Sony’s Alpha line of digital SLR cameras may get a new addition. Current speculation centers around a possible “A750″ with a full frame sensor. While we aren’t exactly sure about the naming, I did get an email pointing me to some specifications on the sensor that this potential new camera would be built around. Specifically we’re talking about a 14.6 megapixel, full frame sensor. The specs:

-High quality in 35mm full size image sensor with 14.6 effective megapixels
-Column-Parallel A/D Conversion method -Column-Parallel A / D Conversion method
-Ultra high speed digital output (12 digital channel parallel LVDS output) -Ultra high speed digital output (12 digital channel parallel LVDS output)

-Active pexels 4661 (H) x 3096 (V) approx. 14.43M pixels -Active pexels 4661 (H) x 3096 (V) approx. 14.43M pixels
-Chip size 41mm (H) x 31.9mm (V) -Chip size 41mm (H) x 31.9mm (V)
-Unit cell size 7.91μm (H) x 7.91 μm (V) -Unit cell size 7.91μm (H) x 7.91 μm (V)

Given the pricing of the A850, and the speculation centering around a 700 series camera, we could be looking at $1400-1800 full frame offering from Sony. A price point I feel pulls in many consumers seeking full frame cameras, but still sitting on the fence due to pricing.
