Anyone know what THIS means???
A quote from the Sony 55-200 lens characteristics on SonyStyle, pay close attention to the naming of Alpha and....:
"DT Lens Design
The SAL-DT55200 is specially designed for the APS-size CCD imager used in Sony & 945 (alpha) DSLR cameras. APS-size sensors are smaller than a 35mm-format film frame, so the focal distance to cover the same field of view can be about 2/3 shorter -- allowing a more compact lens design.
Short Minimum Focusing Distance
...
A major reason for its compact, lightweight design is the benefit of Super SteadyShot® in-camera image stabilization, built into every Sony & 945 system DSLR -- and enabling accessory lenses to eliminate the extra weight and expense of in-lens stabilization mechanisms."
What does 945 mean? I will be asking Sony direct about this asap, just wondering if I am reading into something here.

That 945 should be a lower case alpha.
Sony A700, Sony A100(sold), Maxxum 7xi, and Maxxum 700si.
Looks like they need to clean up that site quite a bit. Lots of factual errors and stuff like this that gives me pink eye.

I like the anal response that it's not an ASCII character, but Unicode.
