You mean, like how Phase One has lowered the price of their cameras below $3k in response to the D800/E? or how Leica decided to go and price match its M system to the Pentax K5?

There's more to a camera than the noise level of its sensor. Much, much, much more.

I agree with you. The problem is that all other things besides sensor are from APSC A77. In fact A99 lacks flash and fps of A77, the only A99 advantage is one more knob. If you subtract from A99 price of A77 you get about 1600$ for sensor. Does it mean sensor is worth 1600$? Is that a price Nikon buys it from Sony? In Europe this math is even more ridiculous here a99 is 3x A77 and 2x D600.
