Sony's website is showing two new dSLRs, the Flagship and the Advanced Amateur. The former is clearly full frame but what about the other. There may be a clue in the lens it is shown wearing, it appears to be the Sony G 1.4 35mm - which has full frame coverage.
Does this suggest two full frame cameras? Perhaps the flagship as a fully fledged professional camera to compete against the Nikon D3x and the Canon 1Ds3 and the other to take on the Nikon D700 and the Canon 5D2.

I may be getting over-excited about this but here is the ink:

/dslr/detail?asset_id=30326
The thing is that the vertical grip is identical to the one shown on the "flagship". It looks a bit like the a700 but that's shown separately on the Sony images site.
You will need to join up the URL I couldn't post it in one go, I think there is a restriction on its length and I'm going to be told off by the mods

On the contrary I'm most grateful.
Reverting to the original post I think I'm being silly and it is the a700 although why Sony is showing it like that after all this time?

That's the a700 before it was officially announced. I've checked it against my a700 and grip and it's identical in every way except the lack of the a700 name.

All these images have been there for a long time. The A700, 24-70mm and 70-300mm have all been released and the 16-35mm and 70-400mm (looking rather different to the protoypes) are soon on the way. The Advanced Amateur model is of course the A700, and the flagship - much changed - is the A900.
