Well, it’s Sony’s big day today. After Konica Minolta turned over his operations to Sony, news of the soon to be released Sony 10.20 MP Alpha 100 digital SLR is expected to be on stores shelves this summer.

Phil Askey, over at DPReview.com has already gotten his hands on one of these gems and has a hands-on preview for us.

“It’s fair to say that while this camera may share some components with previous Konica Minolta digital SLR’s Sony’s involvement has brought external styling, build quality and finish up to a higher standard. The lens mount is to be called the ‘Alpha mount’ and Sony has announced no less than 22 lenses which will carry the Sony Alpha branding (although many are based on existing Minolta lenses).”
