Sony announces new cameras for still and video

Sony has announced three new cameras today.  The next podcast will have more detail, but here's the gist.

Sony A99 DSLR - 24MP full frame, dual autofocus system, OLED viewfinder, HD video and 14 bit RAW, internal stabilization, 6fps $2798 USD available for pre-order now

 

Sony RX1 - Full frame compact with 35/2.0 fixed Zeiss lens. 24MP, 14 bit RAW, 5fps $2798 USD available for pre-order now

 

 

Sony NEX-6 - 16MP APS-C sensor, 10fps, OLED EVF $848 USD available for pre-order

 

 

Sony VG-30 Interchangeable Lens Video Camera - with 18-200 E series zoom lens, OLED EVF, 16MP APS-C sensor including 16MP still capability, quad capsule spatial array microphone, external mic in with level controls $2698 USD available for pre-order

The prices listed are MSRP, so we'll have to wait for shipping to see what street looks like.  Initial thoughts are that the pricing is quite a bit higher than prior releases and with the exception of the RX1, everything else is an incremental upgrade over an existing offering.
