sagt der SONY Chef.....

Intervie auf amateur photographer.co.uk

When asked specifically why Sony has decided to omit Live View and video capture from the Sony A900 and Sony A850, Salmon-Legagneur explained that 'our vision of Live View and video is very clear - we believe that these are functions for entry-level users'. He added 'we still believe our 'Quick AF' Live View is better at the entry-level, and we could have brought Live View to the Sony A850, but it would have meant more development time and [more cost]'.

He went on, 'our target was to launch the Alpha 850 quickly to satisfy the Alpha 700 user that has been waiting for full-frame at a reasonable price'. He explained 'that was the target and that is why we believe it is more important to bring this camera [to the market] quickly rather than losing time with Live View'.
