>>37340 It's not *quite* that bad. Sony bought up the photography bits of Konica-Minolta, so they've got Konica and Minolta's long photography history to work from.
Of course, Minolta was always a pretty minor player in the SLR market after Canon and Nikon started dominating it.
But yeah. One of the things about pros is that they tend to have a shit-ton of expensive glass designed to mount on a specific line of cameras. Said line of cameras is pretty much always Nikon or Canon in this day and age. So yeah, Sony's gonna have to offer something really spectacular to get people to switch. E.g., totally noise-free ISO1600 with noisy ISO128,000 or 24fps shooting, or a 300mm f/2.8 for under a hundred bucks or something.
Right now, they've just got a potentially-full-frame dSLR that nobody's allowed to touch because it's behind glass at the PMA without so much as a set of released specs. Canon's God is up in the sky giving them a big thumbs-up, far as I can tell.
