But if you want articulation and no one else has it, is Sony over charging for this innovation because no one else has it? Morally is this the right thing for them to do or would you say because they have it they are willing to gouge the consumer? IM not sure I would want to support such unethical business practices.

Maybe I should wait for Nikon or Canon to come out with articulation ( probably not going to happen any time soon) or wait for Sony to drop their price to a more consumer friendly price. ( this seems more probable) I can afford the A99 either way but would not want to buy it and then find that Sony found its moral compass and dropped the price 400 to 500 dollars.

But I'm making progress , thanks to everyone here in my quest for a camera system.

The articulating screen is a feature of A77 & A99, not the single reason for the pricing.  IMHO, Sony views the A99 competitive with the D800 & 5DIII and priced it accordingly.   Others view it competitive with the D600 & 6D making it overpriced.  If Sony drops the price it will be because on supply & demand, not because Sony found a "moral compass".  They are all great cameras, I don't think you will be unhappy with any one.
