Sony A99 FF $2800 24MP Exmor

......very interesting...

good price for that feature set

I've been following the Sony's since the A77 came out. If this is true, I would consider jumping ships.

ridiculously awesome featureset. Does sony offer an equivalent to the 50L? That along with a competent standard zoom, and I'de be taking a serious look. In body stabilization, sony sensor *drools*

Can you sustain 10 FPS on to SD cards? If so, why do so many CF/SD users complain of SD cards slowing their write speeds?

Why is Sony announcing this on probably the worst possible day?

People buying cheapo Sandisk ultra SD and expect them to beat CF.
Get the Extreme Pro SD card which cost less than the equal size Extreme Pro CF card.
Most new camera can take advantage of the UHS-1 from SD but canon decide to cripple the SD slot on 5DIII to 25mb/sec

Too bad Sony's joystick is such a pain to use. I would love to get a hands on with a Sony A99 + 135 1.8 and the 5D2 or 3 with the 135L and see how they match up. Sony needs to work on their lens line ups a lot.

Zesiss 135 1.8 is in a class of it's own. The Bokeh is up there with 85 1.2L, just narrower FOV

And just why, exactly?

If you sold what is in your signature you might be able to buy a sony camera and a lens, then you'd be stuck with sony. There's lots of complaints on customer service as well as limited new lens selection, pricing, etc. I think sony controls the price of cameras and lenses as no reseller is able to have a sale.

In body stabilization
likely the best sensor
Fast framerate
Lot lighter than competition
Articulating screen

Not saying I'm switching, just listing some legit reasons to ponder.

Only $200 less than the D800, a much smaller lens selection, lower IQ due to SLT - doesn't look very interesting, unless you particularly need the 10fps or video capability.

The rumor is that it's "10fps" like the D800 is "6fps".

While 60p is great, isn't 60p AVCHD more compressed than what Canon DSLRs do? My consumer Panasonic camcorder did 1080/60p AVCHD three years ago. What is the bit rate?

How big is the sensor on the Panasonic camcorder?
DSLR video is about super thin DOF and great lowlight/detail at the same time.
1080 60p will be wicked for slowmo stuff
