Sony Alpha 99 : Angle

Sony has announced a number of cameras ahead of Photokina, including the long-awaited Alpha 99 D-SLR.

Sony Alpha 99 : Silent Control Dial

There's also a silent control dial, designed so you can adjust settings during recording without adding noise to your video's soundtrack.

Sony Alpha 99 : Top

Like Sony's APS-C lineup, the full-frame body uses a fixed mirror and EVF for fast focus and burst shooting.

Sony Alpha 99 : Rear LCD

The Alpha 99 uses a Bionz image processor that is capable of 14-bit Raw capture or 8-bit JPG recording. Its autofocus is powered by dual-phase detection sensors, which allow it to effectively track objects three dimensionally.

Sony Alpha 99 : Battery Grip

You can set a distance range in-camera to prevent objects passing between your lens and subject from throwing off the focus. The camera can fire off shots at up to 10 frames per second in Speed Priority mode.

NEX-VG900 : Full-Frame Sensor

The Alpha 99 isn't the only full-frame camera in Sony's stable. The NEX-VG900 is the first E-mount camcorder with a 24 by 36mm image sensor.

NEX-VG900 : Alpah Adapter

It will allow for shallower depth of field than previous APS-C camcorders, and includes an adapter that makes it compatible with Alpha-mount SLR lenses.

NEX-VG900 : With Mic

The NEX-VG900 uses the same OLED EVF that's found in other NEX cameras and the Alpha 99. It records video in 1080p60 or 1080p24 format, and can snap 24-megapixel stills in JPG and Raw.

NEX-6 : Angle

Also joining the NEX family is the Alpha NEX-6. It doesn't look that different than the NEX-7 in design, although it does drop the Tri-Nav control system in favor of a physical Mode dial.

NEX-6 : Tilting LCD

The 16-megapixel camera will be available in November for $999.99. The price includes the new E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS power zoom lens. The NEX-6 will also sell as a body only for $849.99.

NEX-6 : 10-18mm Lens

In addition to the 16-50mm,there are two new lenses joining the NEX family. The E 10-18mm F4 OSS is an optically stabilized zoom that covers a very wide angle 15-27mm field of view at a fixed f/4 aperture.

NEX-6 : Top View

It uses the same pop-up flash as the NEX-7, and—in a first for the NEX series—features a standard ISO hot shoe. Its EVF is the same OLED designed used in recent Sony cameras.
