[Leica] D700

[grduprey at mchsi.com (grduprey at mchsi.com)]

Akhil,

It has been about a year and a half since I last looked at a Sony DSLR, but 
I was not impressed by the build, seemed a bit flimsy to me, and they were 
also quite noisy.  Maybe the newer ones are better, but we do not have a 
dealer who carries them here in Eastern Iowa, so i cannot comment on their 
newer models.  The Zeiss lenses should be s plus though.  I looked at them 
in a Sony store in So. Cal. and the Sony sales people seemed to not know 
very much about the cameras either, which was not a good feeling to a buyer.

Cheers,
Gene

Hi Gene,

Would you mind elaborating?

The SOny 900/850 look like good value, they are the lowest price full 
frame DSLR and Imust confess I have been tempted to get one to use with 
CZ optics. I'd be interested to hear  what you did not like about 
the Sony cameras.

Regards,
Akhil
