God forbid Sony should ever provide support for the current media formats. Back when CF was still THE standard, they refused to support it and only had MS slots on their cameras. Now that CF has given way to SD practically across the board, they're supporting CF, but certainly not SD. It seems there's there's just no hope for Sony to ever get with the game.
God forbid Sony sticks with the memory that works best for this type of camera, and has for many years. Last I checked Canon still uses CF cards in their entire line except for the new XSI. Is Canon behind in the game as well?
from what i know, pro DSLR's still use CF coz of their higher capacities. ofcourse, sdhc is catchin up. 32gb CF cards are available for quite a while now, whereas sandisk just released their 32gb sdhc card yesterday. as a result most DSLR's support CF rather than sd. well of course that is changing with the new canon EOS Rebel XSi which has support for only sdhc.

Very nice. I love my A100, wish I had the cash to upgrade.
The swivel screen was my favorite feature of the Minolta Dimage A1 and A2. Saved me from laying flatout on the ground to get upshots many times. Also great when taking covert shots around the corner of a building. It was a huge disappointment when Minolta left it off the 7D.
It's great Sony sees the benefit of it and has added it back to the camera line.
I was just getting over the wad I dropped for my a100...*sigh*
