Both the Sony Alpha A33 and A55 use the new Translucent Mirror Technology with continuous phase-detect autofocus while shooting at up to 10 frames-per-second (7fps on the A33), and recording full AVCHD 1080p HD video.
There is also talk of the new sensors used in each DSLR; the 16.2 and 14.2 Exmor APS HD CMOS sensors for the A55 and A33, respectively. Both of these high-end bad-boy DSLRs come with articulated, 920k-dot, 3-inch LCD screens, with 3D panoramas and automated HDR shot creation. Lastly, $750 is the pricing set for the A55 in October and $650 for the A33 in September.
All in all, if you don’t want a Canon Rebel or Nikon D-Series camera, Sony’s new Alphas are pretty cool to look at and use. Problem is I’m a Nikon man.
For now at least. Sony’s promo vid for the new A55 and A33 is found after the cut.

So a 160GB PS3 Slim? Sure, why not? It’ll come this Fall to the U.S.A and Europe. A 320GB PlayStation 3 Slim with the PLaystation Move? Sure, who cares! It’ll also come to both territories, on September 19th in the US (or September 15th across the pond) for $399 and 349 Euros, respectively.
The Sony NEX-5 and NEX-3 are both in the category of EVIL cameras. That is to say like a Micro Four Thirds camera, an EVIL camera has a P&S body with an interchangeable lens. The NEX-5 (above) ranks as the smallest and lightest camera in the world with an interchangeable lens. Both contain awesome 14.2 MP sensors, Exmor APS HD SMOS sensors, an ISO range of 200 – 12800, and are compatible with all E lenses.
While the Sony VAIO W was deemed to expensive to be a netbook for its size, the recently-leaked Sony VAIO M is purportedly set to replace the W. Moving straight onto specs there’s a 1024 x 600 10.1-inch screen, 1.66GHz Atom N450 CPU, Bluetooth on the basic model, 250GB hard drive, 1GB of RAM, Windows 7 Starter, b/g/n Wi-Fi, and all in a package that weighs only 2.86 pounds. It’s expected to sell below $500 Benjamins which would turn it into hotcakes, although there’s no official release date (or price for that matter). One more shot after the break for your fancy.
Do you get it yet? All issues affecting the “fat” PlayStation 3 models are gone, including the clock one, and you can game to your heart’s content once again. It’s unknown if Sony actually did something to the PlayStation Network or if PS3s themselves just went past a certain time for them to work again correctly. Either way, a quickie Q/A is at JoyStiq, and you’ll also get some info on how to recover lost trophy data (in theory).
