Sony Finally Reveals New Alpha 700 DSLR

Sony finally reveals its next addition to the Alpha Digital SLR camera line. As a current owner of the Sony A100, the A700 is a curiosity but I won't even entertain the idea of upgrading until I see the 'Pro' version which is rumored to be released early next year.

From the official company press release:

Sony is expanding its α (Alpha) digital SLR system with the introduction of the DSLR-A700 camera, which is aimed at photo enthusiasts or serious photo hobbyists.
The new model features advanced imaging technologies and ultra-responsive operation, as well as a lightweight, dust- and moisture-resistant, magnesium alloy construction common to enthusiast-class D-SLR cameras.
Like Sony’s mainstream DSLR-A100 model, the new A700 unit incorporates Super SteadyShot® Inside image stabilization in the camera body and is compatible with most Minolta Maxxum® mount lenses in addition to Sony lenses.


Imaging Resource takes a closer look and has posted various images of the new camera body.
