Upcoming Sony A99

Predictions: This camera may not be the high performance camera many are hoping for in terms of speed of frame rate or buffer capability- probably similar to the A77 on the latter. Likely the rumor of 24mp will indeed be true, but I also think the ISO level will not be very high at all- definitely not the 102K or even 51K ISO level.

The price will probably be better than some expected (at least there is a chance it will) and it will probably also have an ISO hot shoe as rumors have stated. It just makes sense if Sony want to grab sales as this has been a very hot topic (no pun intended) for Sony and Minolta over the years.

Bottom line, I hope the hype on the net so far doesn't ruin the fun of this announcement. I think Sony will be a bit more conservative with the A99 than suggestions thus far have been made. We'll just have to wait and see if I'm right or not.

Also, if I am, it doesn't mean that any of that is bad at all... just means that maybe Sony has something better in store for full frame at a later date (also that has been suggested), and they didn't want this camera to suck up ALL the full frame sales. We'll just have to see!
