Thursday, August 27, 2009 12:50PM - By Chris Weiss

Sony has made the A850, A550 and A500 DSLRs official today. The A850 has the same 24.6 MP sensor as the A900, albeit with less features and a price tag cut by around $1,000. The A550 and A500 feature 14.2 and 12.3 megapixel sensors respectively and get tilt-out LCD displays, with the A550 receiving a higher-resolution version. Surprisingly, none of the new cameras have video recording capability. Pricing is set around $2,000 for the A850, $950 for the A550 ($1050 with kit lens) and $750 for the A500 ($850 with kit lens).
