It only matters what a camera is to you and you alone. It’s which camera works best for you and what you are comfortable with, not what works for someone else. I still have a Nikon D70 that suits my needs, but if I started to shoot for money I might justify a more capable camera like the a900. If I’m not mistaken Nikon uses the sensors developed by sony in most of their cameras. So find the one that fits your needs and budget and that you are comfortable with. I personally would love to try out this a900.

This is a great camera. While it may not be up to professional camera standards such as Canon or Nikon, it will dominate the middle consumer market.

I cant’t wait to get one of these. I’ve been very impressed with Sony line so far. I bought A100 and the A700 and if the A900 is as good as the 700 with a giant sensor I will be pleased.

Are you guys stupid….This Jason guy has way too much time on his hands. Sounds like he is an old Canon/Nikon roadee and is scared shitless to see little ole’ Sony come cream Canon with their amazingly better priced, superior sensored Alpha 900…Who is the Idiot now Jason the Jackass??????

Sony A900 is a great winner in my opinion, as with their other cameras just an incredible value. They’ve really been able to leap forward by picking up where KM left off and leveraging all their technology.

I think this will be my first full frame digital camera, for those new to Sony I recommend Alphamount world’s Sony a900 review

http://www.alphamountworld.com/previews/sony-a900-dslr-hands-on-preview

and also be sure to take a look at what sites like drp and ir say. Note that not all sites had a production camera to review.

I am a Nikon user (had D70, now D200). D70 did more than 120.000 frames. D200 is already over 150.000 and still working. Please, Sony users, can someone give me an info on Sony cameras longevity?

What a shame is it to see an adult (well, lets assume) like our friend Jason getting so upset because other people aren’t worshipping ‘he’s brand’ and habitually following suite with his personal opinions.

Jason, on behalf of everyone who has ever supported competition and free markets I apologise.

Truely, I do.

I also apologise that you feel it so worth your while to put in the assiduous and time-consuming effort to toil through internet forums of non Canon-ritualists and envelope yourself in ‘creditable’ analysis such as flickr upload statistics to support your self belief.

Also I apologise that in 1986 when Canon were marketing their top of the line T90 SLR and Nikon were in the process of launching their F-800 Series Sony were busy with Toshiba co-developing the micro-chip commonly known today as a ‘processor’ and not making SLR’s. Sorry about that!

But – our friend Jason, hands shaking in rage at the keyboard, has made his point. He’s called us idiots and he’s proved us so because he added up how many people have put photos on flickr. Now – he’s over it so we can focus on the matters at hand – The Sony A900.

I own the A700, I dont know if more have been sold then Canon’s 40D and I really don’t care, I know is it’s manufacturers aren’t as distinguised in the industry as Canon and I really dont care. I know it takes great photos, it’s responsive, the SS works well and the Carl Zeiss and G optics are a pleasure to use.

I will buy an A900 and I’m not idiot. I’ll also like my A900 and most likely be happy I bought it and I’m still not an idiot. I will love the new 24.6 Exmor Sensor and know that it’s low-light ability won’t be as accommodating at high ISO’s as competing models but i’ll love the image quality and world class resolution at the low ISO’s and probably never need the high ISO’s. Still not an idiot. I’ll also probably waste my time with it, taking photos and becomming a better photographer rather then perusing internet forums telling people how my ’stuff is better then their stuff’.

Jason, you’re a moron. You’re self mockery is hilarious and you need to grow up! You’re juvenille hissy fits aren’t going to change world poverty, their not going to make Sony close business, their not going to make people buy Canon.

Oh, by the way Jason, Im from Australia, and let me promise you that any Eskimo would be sweating in December, naked or not… !!

To the Canon boys.

Before you complain about the Sony A700 or A900, try one first. After using my A700 with my Carl Z lenses, I would not use a Canon again. I am looking at getting a A900 next. I was a Canon film guy years ago, a T70… But today… I love my Sony A700. The Canon D40.. reminds me of McDonalds.

If Sony did not make cameras.. I would look getting a Nikon…

Thanks GS

There is definitely snobbery but I agree with the others – Sony can only add to competition and force better DSLRs from every manufacturer. Let’s just reap the benefits and enjoy!
