The specs of Sony A99, the first full-frame Single-Lens Translucent (SLT) camera, have been revealed on the Sony Alpha Rumors and Photo Rumors. According to their posts, Sony A99 will feature 24.3Mpx Full frame CMOS Exmor sensor, ISO of 100 and maximum of 25,600, 1/8000 maximum shutter speed, 10fps continuous shooting, 14-bit RAW output, and a 102-point AF system (11 cross).
