If you didn't jump on an Alpha A33 when you had the chance, you'll probably be disappointed when your eyes glaze over the next few words -- Sony has discontinued production of the translucent mirror-packed shooter. On its site, the company has noted that production has halted in Japan, without specific reasoning as to why -- though some might say that overheating sensor was just too much to bear.

Hmm ...
How odd ...
And a bit worrying ...
That nikon rep I was chatting to the other day was telling me Sony out sold nikon for "interchangeable lens camera systems" over Xmas so it's fair to assume a lot of people own this camera ... I'm not sure how I would feel if I'd bought a camera that was discontinued so quickly!
