It looks like a nice camera, but I'm curious to see where it'll end up since Canon's 40D is cheaper and Canon is the gorilla with a good rep and a world of lenses and accessories. And Nikon's 300D is a little more expensive, but offers much, much more. Sony is trying to gain market share, but I don't see much outstanding about the camera to help them do it.

Maybe Sony could throw in their influence and release the thing in a range of colors??]]>Sep 6th 2007 3:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/06/sonys-alpha-a700-dslr-now-official-already-previewed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/06/sonys-alpha-a700-dslr-now-official-already-previewed/
If the camera's "Exmor" CMOS sensor with integrated A/D conversion and noise reduction circuitry improve low light/high ISO performance in comparison to the competition, the A700 will have its share of adopters.

It will be interesting to see how this stacks up to a D300 and a 40D when actual production models show up (for all the mentioned models). At least Konica Minolta lens owners now have something to look forward to upgrading to.]]>Sep 6th 2007 6:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/06/sonys-alpha-a700-dslr-now-official-already-previewed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/06/sonys-alpha-a700-dslr-now-official-already-previewed/Sep 6th 2007 12:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/06/sonys-alpha-a700-dslr-now-official-already-previewed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/06/sonys-alpha-a700-dslr-now-official-already-previewed/
That said, this camera uses the same sensor that Sony is selling to Nikon. As for lenses, the entire world of Minolta-Mount lenses is open to this body, and the in-body image-stabilization makes all of them stabilized.]]>Sep 6th 2007 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/06/sonys-alpha-a700-dslr-now-official-already-previewed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/06/sonys-alpha-a700-dslr-now-official-already-previewed/Sep 6th 2007 3:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/06/sonys-alpha-a700-dslr-now-official-already-previewed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/06/sonys-alpha-a700-dslr-now-official-already-previewed/http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Sony_Alpha_DSLR_A700/ too]]>Sep 6th 2007 6:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/06/sonys-alpha-a700-dslr-now-official-already-previewed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/06/sonys-alpha-a700-dslr-now-official-already-previewed/Sep 7th 2007 7:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/06/sonys-alpha-a700-dslr-now-official-already-previewed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/06/sonys-alpha-a700-dslr-now-official-already-previewed/
Is it just me or does "Bionz" sound like leetspeak for something really dirty? I don't even know what, but... something.

In digital the "box" matters more, but the glass is the reason I buy a camera and Canon still rules the roost IMHO.
