It seems the A900 has a jacked up resolution from a full frame sensor at a move em out fast price this is going to sway how many serious photographers away from a tried and true and not here today going tomorrow system like a Canon or Nikon. It was Oct. 2008 that luminous landscape did its review on the camera. I don't see them out there. I think I saw one. The guy was not a photographer to put it mildly.
