just looked very quickly at the specs on the A77 between 470 and 530 shots on a single charge are we supposed to be impressed by that
Nope, but that\'s what you need to pay for EVF and SSS, a fair trade actually.

The key question in the slew of new products is IMHO: how good is the new high-end sensor? 23Mp for APS-C is, by far, a new density record. If Sony have managed that in conjunction with good IQ and noise performance, it will put massive pressure on competitors. I know that it is considered bad form to insist on pixel count, but it definitely matters in the market.
I think it won\'t be a problem. Looking at what Sony can do with their sensors recently, I\'ll be very surprised if their new sensor can\'t have very usable images at ISO 1600.
Looking at the ISO 1600 test scene images from imaging-resource.com, they are just awful, much worse than ISO 6400 from the A900. Looks too bad to be true. Something may have been messed up, but I also checked one ISO 1250 image from dpreview, and the NR applied was excessive, like from a P&S. I wonder what this is about. Just extrapolating noise performance from current generation sensor into a higher pixel density would not indicate such a dramatic decrease in performance. I hope these samples are not representative.
