As a professional, I will not want to purchase a non professional $2700 
camera. There's no reason to. Sony can't show that their image quality is as 
good as Canon or Nikon.

So it's going to be very hard to see this camera take the photo industry by 
storm. It's a great idea yes, but not at that price.
