I don't see any either but they are being labelled as such in news coverage.
Sony hasn't provided much detailed info.
This is the rumored opening salvo. I don't know if they will make more
announcements at PMA but as the first line is still vaporware, I would think
not. A well engineered compact EVIL even with their current sensors
and Zeiss glass may be a force to be reckoned with.

From one of the usual Sony rummor sites:
“I have some inside info.
Sony is preparing to introduce EVIL cameras. They will have 3 lines.
A230-550 – low end – eventually will be phased out – within a decade – Sony
considers this to be an interim format.
EVIL LINE – full line eventually – basically 35 mm replacement
A800-1000 – pro – basically MF format replacement
The effort goes now to the EVIL models, with new Zeiss and Sony lenses. They
will have superior video with high performance contrast focusing.

These do not appear to be EVIL cameras. No EVF in evidence.Chuck

close attention, however.? May just use the XA again this year and the G9 for
horse use. ? Mike
