Sony has announced their new Alpha SLT-A57 digital SLR, which uses their unique Translucent Mirror Technology. The A57, which replaces the SLT-A55, packs a 16.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor which allows for 12 fps continuous shooting and 1080/60p video recording, among other things. Here's the full list of features:
Alpha SLT-A57 [specs]

16.1 Megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor
Translucent Mirror Technology allows light to hit the sensor and AF sensor at the same time, which means fast AF (even when shooting continuously) while displaying the live view
Supports all Minolta/Sony A-mount lenses with a 1.5X crop factor
Sensor-shift image stabilization
Flip-down, rotating 3-inch LCD display with 921,600 pixels
True-Finder electronic viewfinder has 1.44 million dots and 100% coverage
Full manual controls (of course), plus RAW support
ISO range of 100 - 16000
Shutter speed range of 30 - 1/4000 sec
1/160 sec x-sync speed
Same 15-point autofocus system as the more expensive SLT-A65
Full resolution continuous shooting at 10 frames/second, with camera refocusing between each shot
Tele-zoom Continuous Advance Priority (say that three times fast) boosts the focal range by 1.4X (which lowers resolution to 8.4 MP) and allows for 12 fps speeds
Built-in flash (GN 10) plus wireless flash control
Clear Image Zoom feature boosts focal range by 2X with a minimal drop in image quality
Built-in HDR feature doesn't require a tripod
New Auto Portrait Framing system combines face detection and the rule of thirds to automatically crop portrait shots for maximum appeal; don't worry, the original image is saved, too
Always entertaining Sweep Panorama feature, plus numerous special effects
Records Full HD video at 1920 x 1080, with frame rates of 60p, 60i, or 24p, with continuous autofocus and stereo sound, using AVCHD codec
Full manual controls available
MPEG-4 codec can be used at resolutions of 1440 x 1080 and lower
External mic input
Memory Stick Pro Duo + SD/SDHC/SDXC card slot
Uses NP-FM500H lithium-ion battery, 590 shots per charge (with LCD)
Ships in April for $700 body only or $800 with an 18 - 55 mm kit lens
