State of Sony Camera (systems)

<p>A57 just named an EISA European camera of the year along with D800, D4, and EOS 5D Mark III. Nice company.<br>

<p>picked on something else on the usual rumor site is that the a99 had both PD sensor in the typical fashion (i.e light deflected to a seperate sensor array) and has PD sites on the main sensor. It is theorized that these two systems work together to form an integrated focusing system whereby the sites on the main sensor provide final adjustments and the PD array coarse adjustments.</p>

<p>of course, it could also help the video!<br>

cheers<br>
