Sony Alpha 850 - 3fps version of Alpha 900 | Photoclub Alpha
Sony’s new Alpha 850 will be identical to the Alpha 900 in size, handling and external design – including the omission of onboard flash. The camera, expected to be launched before September, uses the same 24.6 megapixel CMOS sensor as the Alpha 900 but has – it is rumoured – only a single BIONZ processor, and a very slightly modified viewfinder. It is shipped without the Remote Commander (this becomes an optional extra) indicating that minimum retail price is Sony’s aim. This is a screen grab from Fotobrenner.de in Germany who have the body only offered for €1999.00 and the kit with SAM 28-75mm f/2.8 new lens for €2699.00. As listed that makes the body about 10% more expensive than the current street price of the Alpha 900 – indicating either that the A850 prices are RRP and will rapidly fall, or that the A900 is about to get a price hike.
Sony launches DSLR-A850 full-frame digital SLR: Digital Photogra
Aug 27, 2009 at 13:02:33 GMT Pre-IFA 2009: Sony unveiled its second full-frame digital SLR in the shape of DSLR-A850. It offers almost all features of the company's flagship full frame DSLR A900, but at a more affordable price. It is built around the same 24.6MP CMOS sensor and incorporates A900's 3.0 inch 921k LCD, sensor-shift image-stabilization and Dual Bionz processors.
Full Frame / 25 MP / Around $2000 What's Not to Like? Setting The Stage Sony likes to win, and much of the time they do. Betamax was an exception, even though it was technically superior to VHS. But, it then went on to become a broadcast standard that lasted more than two decades, actually outliving VHS.

This is not a step by step, since the instructions for this operation are very clear and the procedure is simple and nearly foolproof. It is simply a reassurance for those worried about changing their screen, with some tips. First of all, clear a suitable table – I used a table in my studio, and lit it with a flash unit, good light is essential. Next, I made sure I had an unused cleaning cloth and a blower bulb handy; then I blew all dust off the camera, noting that the rear screen (which has an adhesive plastic protector on my A900) tended to attract dust with static.

Sony's New Wireless Flash Protocol
The Friedman Archives Newsletter January 2009 In this issue: Sony's new Wireless Flash Protocol A Mime is a Terrible Thing to Waste California Seminars Mirror Lockup Returns Final Factoid - An AEL Button Tidbit Sony's New Wireless Flash ProtocolKonica Minolta / Sony DSLR Wireless Flash Facts Minolta's groundbreaking wireless flash system was first introduced in the early 1990's. And a direct descendant of that system, originally designed for autofocus film cameras, was and still is employed in all the DSLRs and wireless flashes later produced by Konica Minolta and Sony. But strangely, all three companies have done a poor job promoting an appreciation for, and understanding of, their invention. There has been much mystery and confusion about how it all works, which could easily have been avoided with just a little more care in creating the product user manuals.
Konica Minolta / Sony DSLR Flash Facts
By admin, on August 17th, 2010 Although it’s far from a perfect lens, this small 1999 Minolta RS optic is my favourite for general travel and everyday use on the Alpha 900. It is a convenient size and weight, performs well when stopped down a little, and has exactly the range and minimum focus I need.

Sony Alpha 55 and Alpha 900 Color Profiles | Floz' Photo Blog
This really should be the last nerd entry. Promise. Up for grabs today are colour profiles for all my lenses (technically peaking, they are camera profiles, but colour profiles is more to the point), both measured on two different camera bodies, the Sony Alpha 900 and Sony Alpha 55 . What are they for? Well, they are meant to create rather neutral and consistent colours among all the different lenses (with their different kinds of glas, coatings, etc.) in my camera bag.White-balance will only do very litle if your profile is off. That's like trying to profile your printer by changing the hue/saturation in Photoshop - it can be done if you use luminosity masks and one control for each primary/supplementary colour in the spectrum... WB and hue only correct for overall balance, not for channel inconsistencies like the primaries in the camera having different filter sharpnesses and different slopes. If you want to try and see whar LR can do with your files, try a custom profile. I've made this one from the X-rite digital colour checker - in blackbody spectrum light, which should work very well for most things except maybe fluorescents...

Not critisism but my opinion on the profiles presented. Take the photo of a girl on a street. Adobe Standard profile is the most accurate in this case - it decodes correctly the yellow cust of the morning light.ajoakimbengtsson's Shared Files

A900: Zeiss 2.8/24-70mm, Sony 2.8/28-75mm, 3.5-4.5/24-105mm, Minolta 4-4.5/28-135mm, 3.5-4.5/28-85mm
Some days ago I got a first sample of the new Sony AL 2.8/28-75mm SAM. The lens, sold as a kit lens with the 24MP full frame Alpha 850, is based on the well known Minolta/Tamron 2.8/28-75mm. The optics seem to be identical - 16 elements, four of them being aspherical, three low dispersion, and two elements with a high refractive index.I use the A900 in the studio and LOVE it!! I only use the 24-70 CZ and 135 CZ. The 135mm is incredible and is very much like my medium format equipment in terms of rendering an almost 3D-like effect because of the micro-contrast and colors. I am considering the 16-35mm for travels (land and cityscapes) Don't get me wrong, the Canon/Nikon FF systems are great, but the quality of the Sony files are awesome. Coupled with the CZ glass, I don't think you would need anything else in the studio (strictly using ISO 100-200).
