might as well use this to tell what else Paul said - nothing really new:
Sony claim to have 25% of UK DSLR market.
Late this year Sony will have a DSLR with video done in a fashion unlike any that we have seen previously.
UK sells more A900s than anywhere else in Europe (not sure if this is pro-rata or absolute nos.).
There are 2 200mm lenses under development (1 a G, 1 a Zeiss) & 1 may just possibly be a macro.
(of course development doesn't necessarily mean production as we know from some of the concept lenses that have previously been shown)
The 500/4.5 is still coming - originally was planned for release last year until the world economy went to pot.
On hearing that I used an A700+Vg+70-400 he asked me if there were any accessories that I would like to see for future cameras - e.g. intervalometer, wifi grip etc.
On the spur of the moment I could only suggest that they sell or licence out official lens coat type products for the 70-200/2.8, 70-400, 300/2.8 etc. because overall I'm pretty happy with what I have.
To that I'll be adding that they reinstate/replace with an equivalent the Minolta 1200 Ringflash & probably a car charger (even though I now have a 3rd party one) or cable that lets you use the existing charger off a 12V car socket.
I also asked about GPS & he said that Cybershot & Handycam now have it built in ...
I did stress RAW support for it.
If anybody has bright (& sensible) ideas post here & I'll try to see that it gets back to him.
