Paul Genge is asked by me about the 24-105mm. He basically says it's not on the schedule and can't comment on any lens they do not have info for. It may or may not exist. And sondermann, well spotted - it could have been a slip by the Japanese speech writer. He did say Spring, but of course, it arrived in September. And the A100 was not exactly Spring 2006 either, it was June, with late summer availability. David That will come in about 2 or 3 installments’ time! Paul Genge is asked by me about the 24-105mm.

Was there any news of the rumoured 24-105/4 kit lens for the A900? I am not sure either the 16-35 or the 24-70Z could really be considered kit!

One thing - did he really say they released the A700 in spring 2007? I seem to remember that there were some rumors at that time by usually reliable sources that a camera was about to released in April 2007. Maybe that was the original plan and something forced them to delay the launch until September, which in effect pitted the camera against the D300 and the 40D.
