First shown nearly a year ago , what appears to be a leaked official photo might finally mean the forever teased A77 is finally on the horizon. If you’ll recall, the high-end Alpha was sporting a svelte see-through body , and the only tidbits the Japanese firm would confirm were the 2011 ship date and that all forthcoming Alpha’s would have translucent mirrors — you know, the spiffy kind that enables DSLRs to focus while shooting video. Opportunely, the above pictured image also came with a bevy of specs, which we’ll have to assume apply to the pricier A77: a 24 megapixel sensor, 11 point AF, 10 frame per second burst and an ISO of 102,400. Also on the docket is USB 3.0, and a ship date of October. Whether or not the August announcement pans out remains to be seen, but you’ll certainly know when we do. Sony’s A77 and A65 spied in leaked image, announcement to follow? originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 22 Jun 2011 23:12:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds . Permalink
