I've bought my Sony a100 from a retailer in Toronto and found that not only that it saved me alot of money in buying new lenses for it, (Minolta owner) but also can hold it's own ground when put against other DSLRs in the same class. I have field tested the unit against a Canon 20D and a Nikon D50 and although the unit is a bit slow in cont. shots (3 fps with a high speed card,) it still will give you superior images when you know what you're doing. All you have to do is know your camera before you compose fancy images (make sure not to use "AUTO") But if all you can afford is a $60.00 flash card the 3 cameras don't have much of a difference and if there is, you won't even notice it. I did notice 1 con about the camera... There are no battery grip / vertical grip for the unit. So if you are used to having a larger span of hand on your camera, or that you have big hands, you'd hate the feel. But it doesn't mean that there wouldn't be a manufacture in the future that will be making it for the unit, or that if you're a crafty person, (I've seen it done beforeanthough it's no finctional) use a peice of wood and a bolt to make your own extension. Overall, I am enjoying this camera and I don't think I will be upgrading anytime soon... =)
Following the commercial success (and technical disappointment) of the original Wildfire -- which featured a miserly 528MHz CPU and QVGA display -- HTC has returned with the Wildfire S.
