Sony’s been showing off the full-frame Alpha A900 DSLR since February, and after popping up in ads and in the wild last week, it’s official this day, right on cue. Same basic specs you’ve known forever: 24.6 Exmor CMOS sensor, dual BIONZ image processors, ISO 6400 sensitivity, 3.0-inch LCD, 5fps shooting, and SteadyShot INSIDE in-body optical image stabilization. Sony’s also launching a few new Alpha lenses to complement this beast, including a Carl Zeiss 70-400mm f4-5.6 zoom. Early impressions from CNET are that it’s a bit slow to autofocus and didn’t wow with image quality, but dpreview was impressed overall, so we’ll wait for some in-depth reviews to hit before making a final judgment. You’re looking at a $3,000 outlay when this thing goes on sale in October — check out more photos in the gallery, and a quick video after the break.
