mit einem Paukenschlag hat Sony gestern die Eröffnung der PMA in Las Vegas begleitet. Pünktlich zur Öffnung der Messetore wurde bei Sony ein unmißverständliches Signal für die Weiterführung und Ausweitung des :alpha:-Systemes gegeben.
Zu sehen gab es zwei nicht funktionsfähige Gehäusemodelle, die zeigen, dass sowohl oberhalb der :alpha:100 im Produktsegment der Dynax 7d ein Body kommen wird, als auch im Bereich der professionellen bzw. semiprofessionellen Spiegelreflex.
Daneben waren mehrere neue Objketive zu sehen, vor allem aus der Reihe der weißen G-Linsen aber auch Carl-Zeiss-Optiken z.B. das CZ 1,4/35, das einen der Bodies schmückte.
Konkret angekündigt wurden:
24-70/2,8
70-300/4,5-5,6
18-250/3,5-6,3 DT
Es bleibt abzuwarten wann Sony diese Hoffnungsvollen Signale mit technischen Eckdaten untermauern wird, bereits zu lesen war, dass beide Cams einen völlig neuen Bildprozessor erhalten werden und dass Sony exklusiv für das Profimodell einen eigenen Sensor entwickelt und so den Vorteil beide Schlüsseltechnologien zu besitzen(Kamerabau und Sensorherstellung) erstmals voll zu seinen gunsten auszureizen vorhat.

Sony is Set to Expand the World of “:alpha:” D-SLR
At the PMA2007 International Convention and trade Show which was held between March 8th and 11th in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, Sony exhibited two prototypes of digital SLR camera bodies and interchangeable lenses currently under development. These products are planned to be launched in addition to the existing portfolio of the ‘:alpha:100’ camera body and the 21 interchangeable lenses including Carl Zeiss® lenses and more than 45 pieces of accessories..
“We need to further solidify our position in the digital SLR market. To do that, we must cater to varying degrees of customer requirements, and we are working on the second wave of products in order to expand the world of '’:alpha:,” said Toru Katsumoto, head of Sony’s AMC division responsible for digital SLR products, when speaking at Sony Electronics Inc.’s press conference. “Specifically, we are developing two new camera bodies targeted at higher market segments compared with the ‘:alpha:100’,” he added.
The extended line-up is expected to give customers more options and allows them to trade up products as their skills mature. The second wave of products also includes interchangeable lenses suitable for high-end enthusiast and professional use. “With the added choice of camera bodies coupled with enlarged interchangeable lens portfolio, we believe ‘:alpha:’ helps our customers spur their creativity and putting it differently, ‘:alpha:’ unlocks the full potential of digital SLR,” Katsumoto concluded his speech.
Reinforced ‘:alpha:’ Portfolio
One of the prototypes displayed at the PMA2007 was a camera body positioned higher than the current ‘:alpha:100’ to appeal to high amateur users. This new camera will deliver a high picture quality drawing on a new image sensor and new BIONZ image processing engine, both of which are currently under development. The new camera will also feature ‘Super SteadyShot inside.’ Already implemented in the ‘:alpha:100,’ this optical image stabilisation system is effective with the full range of ‘:alpha:’ system lenses.
The other camera body prototype will represent the flagship model of the ‘:alpha:’ range. Offering features that meet demanding requirements from even professional photographers, this highest-end camera body also incorporates a new image sensor, BIONZ processor as well as ‘Super SteadyShot inside.’
One of these two new cameras is scheduled for launch during this calendar year.
Furthermore, 8 prototypes of interchangeable lenses currently under development were exhibited, including a large-aperture standard zoom; telephoto zoom; large-aperture wide angle zoom; super telephoto zoom; fixed super telephoto; fixed telephoto; fixed wide angle and large-aperture fixed wide angle.
Wthin the next 12 months, Sony is planning to launch five or more lenses suitable for high amateur and professional use, including 24-70mmF2.8; 70-300mm F4.5-5.6; DT18-250mm F3.5-6.3.
