I predicted the price of the 70-400 at $1500 (http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readf ... d=29220684)

When others said A900 will have 19 focus points, I suspected better (non selectable, additional points in between the main focus points, helps e.g. with tracking). (http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read. ... e=29195525)

I had some ideas about intelligent preview: You take a pre-pic and adjust settings. The pre-pic cannot be saved but you have to take the real pic again (I was wrong thinking you take the pre-pic with the shutter-release, turned out to be the DOF preview button): (http://www.photoclubalpha.com/forum/vie ... &sk=t&sd=a, see my 2nd post on that page)

My alltime best prediction was (a few months before it happened) that Sony will buy out the Minolta DSLR business and KM to focus on office equipement

Or maybe my fantasy is just to vivid :mrgreen:
