Say hello to the artist formerly known as Konica Minolta. In a press release late yesterday (or early today? 4/19 in Japan, after midnight here) Sony formally announced it's new α ("Alpha") camera line, named after the KM lens mount. No details yet other than the name, and some standard marketing hype like "The gateway to inspiration awaits." What we do know is that an unspecified number of cameras--the release says "cameras," the website says "camera"--will be launched sometime this Summer and may feature CCD sensors, CMOS sensors, or both. One concrete bit of news: Sony have set up a support site specifically for current KM owners at http://www.support.sony.com/EN/KM/service.html, although at the moment it's unavailable due to DNS issues, whether mine or Sony's I'm not sure.
