I agree mainly where Frank is coming from  the I issue is not why a A900
made I guess by Sony - who uses  one or have heard of one  but why a not a
the obvious choice a Nikon D700 which is a tried and true ubiquitous choice?

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.
