Do these have the same amazing high-ISO quality that the NEXs have? Or are the NEXs a fluke?
Good question. I guess we have to wait till they get tested.
Poor Cameras, why didn’t the creator give you Exmor HD CMOS sensor.
Could it be because of a non-compete agreement with Nikon? All of the Nikon cameras, from the D300s down, use basically the same Sony Sony sensor that Sony has used only for the A700, & possible the A500. So does thee Pentax K-x.

no they don’t and i can guarantee for that, but the nex wasn’t a fluke…just different sensors used, these are CCD while the nex is CMOS, while the nex might be better at high iso these will be better at low ISO.
Two new models of what the world does not need…..
What about FF???
Actually these two models ARE needed. The grip on the A230/A380 is highly criticised in reviews and Sony has at last responded.
What is not needed is the high cost of these new models!
Thanks Myst! You’re my favorite video game.

Sure…people who already bought a dslr don’t need them anymore, but people who want to buy their first dslr might buy them 🙂
