Sony Developing 24.81-Megapixel Full-Frame DSLR, New Lenses and Flash

 At the PMA 2008 trade show in Las Vegas, NV, Sony announced that it will introduce a new flagship SLR in late 2008. The camera will use Sony's new full-frame 24.81-megapixel Exmor CMOS sensor , which was announced earlier this week. The sensor has the same imaging area as a frame of 35mm film. Sony displayed a model of the new camera on the show floor, along with models of six new lenses and a new flagship flash unit.
The new camera will be a compact SLR with a separate vertical grip. The prototype model shown looked very similar to 
Sony's Alpha A700  in terms of body design, size, and control layout. Its LCD appeared to be a 3-inch screen, and the size of the optical viewfinder area indicated a large pentaprism. Among the few details about the camera that Sony has released is its inclusion of the company's Super Steadyshot optical image stabilization system. Read the whole article here
