Sony Alpha DSLR-A100 Digital SLR

10 megapixel, anti-shake built in with dust reduction and the best priced quality lens on the market?

yeah, that just sucks dont it ;) :P...

I have a replacement plan on my minolta 5D, i am SO going to "manufacturer defect" that out to the new sony a100 when it comes out! ...

should i be worried it doesnt shoot iso 3200? i hope its comparable to the minoltas in noise performance, thats big shoes to fill, but if theyre anything like theyre building themselves up to be, they will...

OK kiwiguo, we all know by now you are going to Canon land. Can you please speed it up a bit...

Don't get me wrong guys, I have a living to make here. My studio is probably one of the few using KM gear and with wedding photo's, you miss one shot, you miss the wedding. I found with the move to the 7D's that the old lens's were compatable to a point, but lacked accurate exposure indoors with no flash (which we gotta do) and focus searches too much. So needed the new D lens's. These were since removed from the market from January-February at the same time I invested in 7D's for my studio. Press release says Sony eq. SSM 70-200 f2.8 is out in September ... More frustrating is that I live 20km from the factory in China which makes them but Sony won't relase .. just 1.

You are right, it is only lack of service from Sony during their transition. Hope for future users it is not the norm. KM to me was the groundbreaker. My old 800si on Velvia with a good scanner has given us a 100% digital eq. hit rate which so far the 7D has not matched. Due to lack of lens's we are using the "old trusted si's" today ... and the 7D's are on the shelf. Frustrated thats all, sorry to bother you all, but somehow I want to get the message to Sony.

Again - thanks for posting. This post was especially useful. And I think your insight, both as a professional and as someone who's having some problems, is especially valuable. You have just as much of a right to be on this forum as anyone else. I'm here and I don't even own one piece of Sony or Konica Minolta gear - unless you count my TV

I'm also excited to find out we have a pro from mainland China on the site. I think that's very cool. Glad to have you - no matter what equipment you use
