 OK, a quick update. Sony, it seems, is a victim of its own success. The company's marketing team is fresh out of cameras at the moment. This doesn't mean the blogs are off, but does mean three of you won't be getting a knock on the door from the delivery guy just yet, I'm afraid. We will let you all know what happens, when it happens. And that's likely to be soon (hopefully around mid-June). Sorry for the inconvenience.

Just an update to the update. The cameras will be Sony DSLR-A350, not A300 as originally suggested. So, they may take a little longer to arrive, but they will be a bit better to play with too.

Ooh, even more exciting. No chance of tha 135mm f1.8 they do too I suppose?
|

The best things are usually worth waiting for.

 Gee! A 350 now! Wow, wish I hadn't turned my offer down so quickly now! . Better get me that Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 9-18mm f/4-5.6 lens and fast now Alan. I've got a fantastic review already written for it.

OK, PR hold-ups, family affairs and everything else out the way, now... it's time to get playing with some cameras! I need the three reviewers to email me (editor@thinkcamera.com) with their addresses ASAP. We will need to get these cameras out to you in the next day or two and need to know when is a good/bad time to deliver the boxes. I feel like Santa now. I wonder where I can get one this time of year?

A350 and 18-70mm arrived this morning - battery charging up even as I write this! So, what's the plan?
|
|
You'll know early next week. For now, charge it up and play over the weekend, and let's see some photos. Enjoy!

 Camera received this lunchtime and batteries are now on charge. The PC is now up and running again (well with limitations) Very strange problem developed over the past week, windows Vista Ultimate would not load nor would the PC run in safe mode, or indeed from the Vista disk, so was unable to carry out a repair. The problem appears to be a conflict with Vista and the Sata drivers, even though the PC has run faultlessly for the past 18 months. I'm guessing a recent Vista update has created the problem. At present I'm running from an oldish Ide drive, but unfortunately I cannot access my Sata drives, or most of my data, as with these connected the PC will not work
