So far the following are unofficial specs, so take it with a pinch of salt. The Aplha 100 is expected to offer 10.2 megapixels an an APS-C size CCD sensor. It will be fully compatible with Sony Alpha mount system lenses as well as the Sony G lens and Carl Zeiss optics. It does make one wonder – can the older Minolta lenses be used on the Sony Alpha 100?
