I'm like a kid at Christmas who wakes up early to take a peek at the gifts. I woke up out of a dead sleep around 1:15am this morning having a feeling that an announcement was made. And lo and behold, there it was in all its splendor.

I can't wait to add the A77 to my collection, replacing my still excellent A700 as the main camera in my bag.

The article is correct about the direction. During the summer, you want the air to be pushed down. Since the ceiling fan is only moving air, not necessarily changing its temperature, you want it to create a breeze that you feel. This causes a wind chill effect and allows moisture on the skin to evaporate faster,…

I agree with you that it also depends on the theater. The Mrs. and I saw Harry Potter in 3D at our local theater (no choice given, was the only way it was shown here) and I thought the picture looked quite sharp and bright for being a 3D flick. Of course our theater only recently upgraded to 3D a few months ago, so…

From the previous photos I have seen of it, including the translucent prototype Sony had on display, I believe the A77 still has a pop up flash. The pics above and the tight seams just hide it well.

@Wade McGillis: Didn't that come out already in the early 80's?
