We all know Sony aquired everything it needs from Konic/Minolta, to be a formidable camera and lens company. Then add to the mix their experience in sensor and electronics technology and you would think they could leave most other camera manufacturers in the dust. We will see.....
One of the many things I wonder about is how Sony could use the technology from the Konica Hexar AF. It utilized an infra red beam that allowed it to focus almost instantly in the dark. Could this be used in a digital camera? I still hold a true digital Hexar AF as a Holy Grail of cameras, and am waiting to see if Sony can produce one. Sony has been busy and the folks over at sonyalpharumors say more is yet to come.
Here's a quote from Andrea at SAR....
" So what’s next?
Actually I believe more lenses will be announced in a couple of months and I do expect Sony to make some major announcement right before the CES event in early January. I have been told that Sony is also working on a new type of cameras. But that is a surprise I will keep up for you later So this was just to say, that there will not a be a lot of time to rest here on SonyAlphaRumors!"
So it sounds like we have a lot to look forward to, I know my interest is peaked.....
