Sony launches new Alpha A450 DSLR

Determined to drive everyone to madness, Sony continues to squirt nearly-identical DSLRs left and right :) The Sony Alpha A450 is the second DSLR to be announced at a CES trade-show, two years after Sony announced the Alpha A200 there.

Alpha A450 main specs
+ 14mp APS-C CMOS sensor (like A550)
+ 5fps/7fps burst mode (like A550)
+ sensor-shift stabilization
+ 2.7" fixed LCD
+ Memory Stick/SDHC cards
+ 1050 shots CIPA battery life estimate
+ no video mode (no surprise since A550 doesn't have it)
+ 650 euro with 18-55mm kit lens in February 2010
+ only announced in Europe so far
