Hi,



I guess we'll never see such a cool body :-)

Bye Sebastian

Transparent body, you mean? Probably with an attitude similar to the Proud Robot (by Henry Kuttner) as well <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

What a copy cats, those Sony guys and girls!

Mother of all transparent Camera bodies (and mother of the modern SLR design), transparent Canon T90:



Transparent Canon EOS 650 + transparent flash + transparent lens:



Transparent Nikon D80 + lens:



Transparent Pentax SFX + lens:

That is way beyond "translucent"... The new A77 will be able to get the light not only TTL, but from every direction <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />...

i believe those transparent bodies are just for show purpose, the production model should be black

a900 mock-up was also transparent body

It's primarily roll is for engineers to study the whole cam for final testing. However, it makes a great show as well. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
