I agree that the 5D III is priced high. But, that's to me. For others it's not. What's funny to me is, people are crying over the price of the A99. This camera is in the same category as this one at a much lower price.

I do agree that the RX1 is the camera of the year. But the A99, if you look at it, outside of the much better dynamic range, noise, full frame and a few more things compared to the A77, it's not a major change compared to it's brother. I guess the same can be said about the 5D III too. Most the changes went into the auto focus. Getting to the point, people chose their cameras for different reason. I chose the A99 because for me it's the better camera. Better, meaning, the dynamic range is better, evf etc. But what I like in the A99, others won't. That's just the way that it is. The most important thing is, the cameras take good pictures and the customers are happy. A magazine isn't going to define our skills. Neither is camera of the year.
