The video above shows the new 500mm f/4 lens on a NEX camera! You have to go to minute 13:00 to see it. A little bit before (minute 11:35) you can see the new A77 prototype.
One more news: A dealer from Austria reported that Sony told him the [shoplink 3028]Sony A850[/shoplink] will be discontinued. We already heard similar rumors during the past months but I have no more info from my sources. Source: Sonyuserforum.de

Lots of cool stuff. Bummer that El-Deane couldn’t add any new information about the A77. The NEX with the 500mm looked pretty awesome though.
Andrea can you fix the spelling for the post title – discotinued to discontinued?
Don’t want the info site I often visit to show basic spelling errors ;p
I want to know what he saw that he wasn’t supposed to see when he connected the 500mm mockup to the camera.
Forget about the cameras….that is one cute, full-bodied chick. Whew!
Christ-on-a-bike they are a couple of irritating presenters.
The guy holding the A77 mock-up was very careful to say that they haven’t officially named the A77 yet. 😀
Nothing new about the swivel on the flash, my 58 does it, it’s why I got it!
My thoughts on the naming is this; if he is calling the a700 replacement, maybe it is a TRUE replacement, and not the SLT a77 that was in the background. We have heard rumors that there may be a traditional DSLR replacement for the a700.
Personally, I’m still not sold on the idea of my a700 being replaced by a camera with an electronic VF.
You haven’t see the EVF yet. It might me amazing. Then again…
Bloody hell, I wish there was an edit.
