Oops! I would like to continue what i forget to mention.
4. Flash Syn 1/500 (I will find it very usefull as my A700 only got 1/200)
5. 16.2MP (I personally feel it is slightly too high, because i believe most photographers using this body wll take a good composition shots, less cropping. So i feel it take a lot in our memory space when we uses Raw Format. Unless Sony will mention 32G memory card support without affecting the 8frames/sec.
6.ISO 25600 is very high (I do not ask much. If ISO 6400 do not give noises, I am very very satisfied and very very happy)
7. The rest of the extra specs are not very important to me.
Bye!

Very impressive.
1.A800 with Built In Flash which A900 dont have. (I had experience bad contact with external flash several times, and luckily my A700 with built in flash.)
2. Dust Splashes Sealed. I hope this will settled my problem when i get A800. ( Internal dust gives me a lot of problems especially when i take a shot at a beautiful blue sky, with lens 1635Z set 16>18mm, f18>22,1/160, set vivid all at +3,i can see quite a lot of dust shadows.
3.Full Frame. I will mount my 1635z to A800,to enjoy the wideness and A700 mount with my 70200G, 2X converter to enjoy 600mm shot for wildlife at f5.6.
Lastly, if the price is too high, beyond my budget, then, its too bad.

I Would rather see an A1000 that did not turn out impressionist,pointillism images at anything above ISO 400

WOW!
If it will be less than 5D MKII, I will hurry up to buy.
I expecting A800 will have monochromic aoptional LCD on the top body. It is really essential

I wonder about the weather sealing of the body, when none of the offered lenses are weather sealed…
