There’s nothing certain just yet but it looks like Sony is getting ready for a new DSLR camera. Sony’s UK site has an Alpha A330 entry-level DSLR mentioned together with some new line of lenses which have Y and L codes in the drop-down menu:

Since two new lenses – presumed to incorporate focus motors because of their design – are also shown on the support website, 50mm f/1.8 and 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6, it can be assumed the camera will be sold with these lenses as no existing models have the codes Y or L when used in kits. There is a possibility that these budget lenses are not SSM, but use a cheaper internal micromotor. It may also be fair to assume to the body could lack mechanical focus drive support.

Is the A330 a direct competitor to the D5000 and the T1i cameras? When will we see it in action?
