Sony can have yet to officially announce its upcoming Alpha A77 camera, but owing to a nomination page before this month’s Good Design Expo, we will finally get a glimpse of what this imager will pack internally. Indeed , the A77 will include a 24 megapixel Exmor CMOS sensor, in addition to a translucent mirror that permits full-time continuous autofocus. Additionally, with the assistance of its new BIONZ engine, we have now a “world’s fastest” burst rate of 12 frames per second, which matches nicely alongside the camera’s 60p and 24p video recording modes (presumably in AVCHD). What also caught our eyes was this “world’s first” XGA OLED electronic viewfinder, while the A55 and A35 include just LCD versions. Well, only time will tell whether this camera lives as much as expectations — by the sound of it, we’ll probably manage to play with one within a number of weeks from now.

Update: And similar to that, the nomination page has promptly been taken down. Great point we saved a replica, though — after the break, for you to practise your Japanese.
