Hallo zusammen.
Irgendwie sind die drei z.T. aufschlußreichen, wenn auch nicht unbedingt erquicklichen Sony-Interviews, die anläßlich der CES 2011 in den letzten Tagen veröffentlicht wurden, hier im Forum nur am Rande erwähnt worden. Damit man die Interviews schneller wiederfindet, möchte ich in diesem Thread nochmal auf alle drei hinweisen:

Damien Demolder von Amateur Photographer spricht mit Sony-UK-Alpha-Trainer Michael Bubalo:

ZITAT[...] the camera would probably be launched this year (2011) and that it would definitely use the translucent mirror technology introduced in the Sony Alpha 33 and 55 cameras at the end of 2010.
The new model however will feature a 'substantially better' electronic viewfinder. Bubolo was also able to confirm that Sony's priority for this coming product will be high ISO settings 'up into the hundreds of thousands'. The body shell will be made from magnesium alloy and the finished product will be priced in the same area as Canon EOS 60D type products.[/quote]

DPreview interviewt Masashi 'Tiger' Imamura, President of Personal Imaging & Sound Business Group, Sony Japan:
http://www.dpreview.com/news/1101/11011110sonyinterview.asp "We really can change the world"
Zum Thema "A700-Nachfolger":
ZITAT[...]The company will try to bring together all its technologies to produce a worthy successor to the A700 [...]
'After the merger [with Konica Minolta] our system was very similar to a traditional DSLR - very similar to Canon and Nikon. They have more heritage than us: traditional DSLRs are a mixture of optics, mechanics as well as electronics. We're coming from the AV industry so we have a lot of unique technologies we can put into our cameras. Now we have merged our resources into one place (Tokyo), we can bring our knowledge from Alpha, NEX, Cyber-Shot and camcorders.'
'There has been a lot of discussion about what an Alpha DSLR should be. We've been focusing for some time on utilizing our unique technologies. The translucent mirror is one and it performs very well. We want the A700 replacement to be in line with that kind of step forward, we want it to be superior to its competitors, that's why we couldn't make it sooner,' he said. But, he assured us, the results will be worth waiting for: 'With the A33 and 55 we tried to look at the problem and get rid of some of the old hassles - the A700 successor should be like that.'[/quote]
Zum Thema "NEX":
ZITAT[...]But also there are customers using NEX in addition to their DSLR, so we're planning to expand NEX in a more easy way, a lighter way, but we'll also expand to make models that have more manual control and more DSLR-like capability.'
Imamura repeated the enthusiasm he expressed at Photokina for the use of legacy lenses on the NEX system: 'with lens adapters, people can combine their valued, heritage lenses with a very advanced digital body. We didn't expect that kind of usage. There are lots of interesting things we can do for those types of customer.' [...][/quote]
Zum Thema "Video":
ZITAT[...]'As well as the easy-to-use and DSLR capabilities, we're also thinking about the camcorder style shooters and technologies. The NEX VG10 is one example of that. The barriers between compacts, DSLRs and camcorders will merge - not necessarily in a single device but with technologies and capabilities being shared between them. Our mission is to create new markets - we don't want to make the same products as everyone else and just cannibalise each other in the existing market.'[/quote]
Zum Thema "Vollformat":
ZITAT[...] 'When we started in DSLR we said that if we have DSLRs, a full-frame camera must be there. But we are working on a lot of products and there is a limit to our engineering capacity. The time will come when I can give more detail. When we announce a full-frame camera we want it to be a big step forward - another technological development might be needed so I say to people: Please stay tuned.'[/quote]
