Sony Alpha with Live View coming soon?

John Chan | Jan 09, 2008

We've all heard that Sony just launched its latest digital SLR, the A200 at CES. The new camera is the successor to the Japanese company's first dSLR, the A100, and comes with quite a few improvements. So soon after the announcement, we already have rumors and leaked images of the next Sony Alpha, and this one comes with a swivel LCD.

Having a swivel LCD on a dSLR makes sense only if the LCD is used for framing images. This would imply that the new Alpha in those images will incorporate Live View, a feature found in some other dSLRs like the Olympus E-3 and Nikon D300.

This leak could be bad news for Sony. Some users may hold back from getting the A200 in anticipation of this model. On the bright side, if true, it would mean Sony still has quite a number of tricks up its sleeve for its digital SLR business--great to know if you are a fan of its camera system.
