After adding the DOF preview Sony also added Mirror Lockup! This has been one of the most requested “features” by Sonyfolk! As you might remember we had a Sony MLU petition (SonyAlphaRumors supported the petition). I guess your pressure did the job and Sony did the great job listening to you!

Official Sony A560/A590 product specifications are available at Sony.net (click here to download the .pdf). Also the A33/A55 manual is available for download
Something else: See the Sony A55v “naked” at CNET Asia 😉
P.S.: Sounds like Kagoo has some A580 cameras in Store

Thanks for the link to a virus!!! Why did you do that?
??? I tested the links again and they work. Try again with another brower…
Nope….doesn’t work in Internet Explorer….maybe Firefox…will try
Nice job from Sony. That’s the way to go. If they really aim at becoming one of the serious dslr brands, they have to give everything other ones give + more. There’s no other way around!!
🙂 petition worked in did. Great thing 🙂
Thank Gods for small miracles? 😛
Will they still autofocus legacy lenses (screw type)?
@Rob
Yes
TY Neonsquare – I upgraded to an 850 with Carl Zeiss 24-70 this year, but still have my Carl Zeiss 16-80 and am wondering if it’s a good time to sell it. It’s a great lens and definitely a cut above kit lenses. Will be happy to send a link to picasa galleries with photos taken with the lens and a700 for anyone who is curious.
Sony isn’t Nikon.
All bodies autofocus with old lenses, including new A55/33 and A560/580. 🙂
Really shows Sony actually listens. They have done everything people asked for and much more.
…true, and it’s not yet the A7xx … obviously there’s still room left…
the a7xx will come… i am more interested on what they will do with the e mount now.
Nice job! this is the way they have to work.
I hope they keep working hard and adding more useful features to future models.
Good to see Sony listening to it’s customers. Should we now start a petition for them to start adding a dedicated AF assist lamp to their entry level cameras? 🙂
It only took 25 years. I guess we can finally upgrade our SRT-303s now.
@Carl What are you on? Sony has been producing MLU-enabled DSLRs from the start with the DSLR-A100. *Some* of the models did not come with the feature, is all (like the competition).
Will Hähnel Giga T Pro work with A580?
