Happy news in my opinion, not so much the fact that the A290 has emerged but rather the fact that the Sony Alpha range has a future on the A-Mount. This leak or rumour actually couldn't have happened at a better time for Sony as many users were questioning the commitment of Sony to the A-Mount. The rumoured specs for the A290 are as follows;
- APS-C image sensor resolution of 14.2 megapixels BIONZ image processor.
- maximum sensitivity of ISO 3200
- 2.7 inch LCD screen
- sensitivity optimized DRO range
- speed 2.5 fps continuous shooting
- user interface with visual images, like the A230
- memory card or MemoryStick Pro Duo SD / SDHC
