My lingering resistance comes from the categorization of the A550 as being appropriate for "novices" moving up from P/S or digicams. This makes me think that the A550 is not really any kind of upgrade from my A100. The A850 and A900 would require re-tooling because all my glass is optimized for the A100 APS sensor, meaning a very large budget hit. So, thinking about retooling and spending a large chunk of cash to upgrade, I am no seriously thinking about taking my money and going over to Nikon or Canon instead of staying with SONY. I have had Canon (film) and several of my family members presently have Nikons, and I am very impressed with the Nikon line. I have decided to wait a few months before making my final decision.

The price scared me so I bought the A350. However, I really liked the versatile LCD and video features of the D5000. Has Sony addressed these two features in the new 500 series? Time will tell.

A230 A330 and A380 look absolute horried. Sony is turing them into toys, I hope sony does something nice with these models. Atleast CMOS sensors I just hope they dont follow this new design strategy.

I love the feature on the HX1 and it would certainly do something that other DSLRs don't if it appeared in the A500/A550. @Jaxon – That would be pretty cool.
