Lensvid just released their interview with Yann Salmon-Legagneur the general manger for product marketing in Sony Europe. The Sony a99 Mark II can shoot up to 60 images JPEG or 50 RAW at 12fps and the body is only about the size of the a77, so it’s about 18% smaller. Another surprising detail from the interview was that A-mount held about 18% of the european market as of 2010, which is pretty substantial, but I am curious why Sony didn’t offer more recent numbers. Apparently Sony is certain there is a large market waiting for this camera to arrive. Sony also verified that their Sesnor factory has been fully repaired from the earth quakes, but it will take a little more time until they are placing sensors in cameras at the same volume as before.
