Much appreciated. I shared that with a few people I know. :)   C

Reading it now ... and very good point above.   Sony indeed wanted to make money with optical finders, but didn't, apparently.

Is that what you think they should do? I don't. They could do a heck of a lot more than just relying on new tech to get them where they want to be, that is for sure. But Sony hasnt' figured out...

great point btw, and very true

Even if the above is true, it still doesn't address the main issue of my post at all. The point of the OP and my post, as a reminder, is that Sony can't seem to get traction in the DSLR market...

Not sure it will matter one way or the other, but I have another question. Where does Sony go after ditching SLT? If the next wave won't do much different in sales, then what happens after...

I totally agree. There are holes in the market begging to be filled and I keep wondering when the hell a manufacturer is going to see the holes and fill them. They all seem so slow to take those...

This is just an attempt at disaster maintenance, that is all. Nothing guaranteed here, and I wouldn't believe them now if they gave absolutes. Trust has been broken Adobe, too late, and you'll...

Wow, one of the first buyers eh! I think I did that once when the Sony A700 came out, to my knowledge I was the very first to have one in the USA. :) Glad you like the settings! There is...

no

to keep stuff like that from happening (being crucified that is).

But if that's not good enough.. Best of the consumer zooms for the A-Mount, and besting many other makers 18-135mm lenses in my opinion, despite the range advantage of some other ones. This is one...

Maybe they should make a good 1 series camera also. :) Then maybe this pricey lens might be an option after it comes down in price as well.

Don't get strategies these days.

Built in EVF (upper left rear of the camera) Better high ISO performance (and low), even if megapixels have to be reduced to 12mp or more More organized menu...

Believe every word of it too. I know what you mean about the older days when digital was peaking and these forums were so much different too.

...and they rely on the ignorance of the average consumer to pull this off, and sadly, they probably will. Sounds like the average consumer needs to work on their ignorance level so that in the...

Right now I'm letting myself naturally adapt to the camera. One of my test parameters is putting a camera on a shelf with all my personal favorite collection of cameras, and seeing how much it begs...

Sony will still try to compete with the A-Mount though, but Pentax would be a solid #3 maker offering OVF, and I agree, they should go full force into it by starting with an affordable FF DSLR,...

Exactly, agreed. My main concern's aren't on the poll, this is one of them.

Yep, my move exactly.
