A year after Sony's first DSLR (the A100), finally a 'high end' Alpha digital SLR (in principle the replacement for the Konica Minolta 7D) is going to launch soon.
The new model sports an impressive specification including magnesium alloy construction, 12MP CMOS sensor (with on-chip A/D conversion), 5fps shooting and a wealth of features and customization options, though interestingly (given the recent spate of announcements) no live view option. There's also a couple of new lenses and a new vertical shooting grip.
