24.81 Mp CMOS 35mm Sensor met Super Steady Shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Major Differences:

A. LCD Backlight Switch. Drive and Exp. Comp. buttons switched.

B. Repositioned AF illuminator

C. Pentaprism housing clear of the hotshoe. Smoother shape.

D. Memory settings on the mode dial. Squarer shoulder. Eyepiece shutter?

E. Repositioned PC-Sync socket

F. Rubber grip for left hand.

The shell looks like it has been designed for production (shut lines, crackle finish, screws).

Can't tell if the grip sensor is still there. They better have solved the nickel problem by the time it's developed.

I guess we'll have to wait and see the photos of the prototype at PMA to get more information about the design. Hope they have kept all the good bits of the A700 ergonomics and added some extras.
