2 = DSC-R1
256 = DSLR-A100
257 = DSLR-A900
258 = DSLR-A700
259 = DSLR-A200
260 = DSLR-A350
261 = DSLR-A300

263 = DSLR-A380
264 = DSLR-A330
265 = DSLR-A230

269 = DSLR-A850

[??? = DSLR-A500 Files not examined]
273 = DSLR-A550
“The “holes†in the list suggest that six (or seven, depending on the unknown A500 code) additional cameras have at least reached the stage in which they get their own code.”
