A SAR reader sent me this with a final question you might can answer:
“The Genoa Municipality Digital city project uses for its multimedia contents Sony gears only (see THE GENOA MUNICIPALITY CHANNEL on youtube, http://www.youtube.com/Genoamunicipality and the webmagazine about the city VIVERE GENOVA, http://www.viveregenova.comune.genova.it). We have two NEX 5 to be used both as photocameras and as videocameras for full HD videos by our young publiscers who learn to become really multimedia journalist, we have two NEX VG10 to be used for more complex videos by our videomakers as the SONY X1R reserved for high quality video productions. The idea of using NEX products allow us to have interchargable lens and accessories as well as to use light but powerfull video instruments with cinematografic capabilities.
Question: We are looking for a solution to allow us to use professional microphones with the NEX 5. is someone able to help us in finding a soloution that “works”? The standard built in microphone represents a limit in the professional use of the NEX as videocamera“

So the a77 is going to be tiny? 🙁 My large hands feels robbed!
@Panfruit
If you continue down the thread you’ll see that the a77 pic used was taken with a wide angle close up so it’s distorted. There is a better example later down the thread and it will be bigger. And if not, at least you’ll have the option of a grip. Seriously, Sony needs to make a grip for the a55.
apparently it will be a tad taller than the a700, proportions are a bit different than on usual design, with for example the lens mount far on the side.
the grip is interesting, it looks like you can actually fit your pinky on it, as the grip seams taller, good news.
just need more details now 🙁
