No pro's shoot Sony? Frank Doorhof long time Canon & Hasselblad shooter just got himself the a99

I think that you'd missed my point. I'm not 100% sure which post of my mine that you'd replied to. But, I'm a professional photographer, shooting both fashion and commercial photography. I understand the dynamic range concept and the technical differences in these cameras. That's part of the reason why I'd went with Sony f.f. Plus, I've been shooting with them going back to the Minolta days. BUT, I've also shot with other cameras outside of Sony and for the majority, you can pretty much get the same results. I prefer Sony for several different reasons. That said, those reasons for me as well as what you've expressed are subtle and not enough for the average professional that shoot with both Nikon and Canon are enough to justify moving over to Sony. Or from Canon to Nikon etc. Although from what I've seen, the video blows away anything that I've seen coming from Nikon and Canon. But the same can be said about Nikon when it comes to the iso noise at high iso in the D800. Again, to the average viewer, they're not going to know the tech. difference. What they will see if the images are good is a good images photographed by a good photographer. Along with the Sony images, I like Sony's tech. innovations and aesthetics. The bodydesign, it just works. LCD hands down imo, beats the others. That flexibility, while I can shoot without it, comes in very handy for difficult shooting situations. Evf, innovative imo. I also like the fact that I can adjust the menu inside the viewfinder. That's nice if you're in a very bright area where the sun might be an issue. There's so much more that I can list that I do like, but you (hopefully) see my points.
