Wow... talk about vicious...

The Sony A900 is out already in stores… 2 of my friends have them already….

I never said the 5D was a bad camera… I actually like mine….

But if you compare the viewfinder of the 5D vs the a900, the 5d is relatively very dim. When I take landscape night shots I find it a pain to try to look through the viewfinder.. but with the A900, you don'thave that issue…. I also prefer the grip (makes it seem lighter even though it’s the same weight) and the buttons. For the viewfinder alone i would buy that camera.

The A900 is not a great camera for handholding in low light, but it’s a great camera for landscapes and portraits (good lighting is assumed).

Everybody takes different pics and so has their own preferences… you can check out mine here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sixty9/

Relax.

I have the Canon 5D but tried my friend's A900.... the best feature about that camera is the viewfinder.. makes mine look like a toy. It's a real photographer's camera.

Canon and nikon don't offer stabilization on primes. I have the old minolta 7D, but with the combination of that and my 35/1.4 lens, i have an unbeatable low-light monster. I also enjoy having stabilized macro and portrait lenses which i end up having with my 100mm macro and 85/1.4.

oops, my bad. Confused sample rate with compression rate. This thing is sweet!

what? music only up to 96k sample rates? that doesn't make sense. Audiophile (like me) won't do with anything less than lossless.

Who's the target market? What audiophile would pay 2 G's for inferior music?
