Yawn, who cares about megapixels

High ISO performance + larger sensors are where its at.

I realized it's full frame, I can read after all.

What I'm getting at is high megapixel camera's are USUALLY a trade off for noise performance. Until we see sample pictures taken by the camera we can only assume this camera will stick with tradition and not be all that impressive with its higher ISO's.

it's only 3 more mp than the 1ds mark

I'd have one if a newer model was more affordable. I only own a crop for financial reasons.

No, I mean six megapixels is enough to print at almost any reasonable size.

itt people troll Sony with no real reason behind it cause the a900 is actually going to be pretty kick ass.

This is going to cost $6000+. I don't care because I'm a cheap bastard, wake me up when it's discontinued and drops to $1000.

Meh, Sony focusing on something stupid (moar megapixuls lol, you'll take better photos with 'em!), just like they did with the PS3, instead of focusing on quality.

Not news.
>> ac !!VPzQAxYPAMA
Meh.

Ask me again when this thing actually exists in a form more concrete than an engineering mockup for a trade show.

yay, congrats to sony....i bet they will sell a few thousand of them in the year they are released...

while canon sell a few thousand 400Ds a day
nikon sell a few thousand D40x a day
pentax sell a few thousand K100d/k200d a day
and sony sell a few thousand a300 or whatever

I work on a 13" screen... 3MP or 24 and I can barely tell the difference. But my hard drive ends faster.

Check your facts. From http://www.electronista.com/articles/08/03/21/sony.a900.alpha.dslr/
"A sneak peek at what is believed to be Sony’s top-end digital SLR was offered at Japan’s Photo Imaging Expo on Friday."

Key phrase there: "Sneak peek"

>it's officially coming out in august or september
No, they're officially planning to *announce* it in August or September. There's a big difference. The mere fact that they're not sure if it's going to be announced at Photokina or IPA--and that it doesn't even have an *official name* yet--suggests that this is far from ready to ship.
>model is working, didn't see you bitch at the preview model of the 450d from canon faggot
There are different levels of working. Working enough for a demo is far, far from "Ready to ship in August"

Go now and look for the press release about this on Sony's website. What? Can't find one? That's because this *hasn't been officially announced yet*. This is in contrast to the Rebel XSi, which had a press release and a shipping date when people started talking about it.

A better parallel with a Canon system would be the 5D successor. And if you paid attention to that thread, you might have noticed that I was very much skeptical about the veracity of that without an official Canon press release, too.

Indeed.

For the prosumer, they probably have some of the best value stuff.
For the average joe, are you EVER going to buy a $3000 xbox hueg 600mm f8?

No. Minolta figured this out in the 80s and made the x700, which was GROUND BREAKING. A camera for normal people? You just put all the buttons on green and take a picture?! WHOA!

The reason KM died is cause of their severe lack of DSLR development. KM had (still has!) some of the best developed glass in the world (see 135stf), and the fact there's a major player like sony taking over production now just ices the cake.

Seems a bit strange, since they usually "sandwich" their models instead of directly competing 1:1.

But if they've already got a few select professionals (is this what you mean, or just factory rumors?) testing them, then I guess I'm wrong.

Nikon is definitely testing something new to follow-up the D3. Whether it's called the D3x (which would be consistent with their pro model naming up to now) or the D4 we will have to wait to see, but it is definitely in the works.
>> ac !!VPzQAxYPAMA
>>146707
They don't currently have a better-than-1DsIII model. The D3 is a little worse than the 1Ds III and a little better than the 1D III. So they would want to have a body with specs one step up from there.
>> Anonymous
>>146710
But how much better can you get than a 1Ds Mk. III? Three more megapixels isn't much of an improvement, and I can't think of any feature the 1Ds Mk. III doesn't have.

Unless Nikon does something absolutely unexpected like add sensor-shift stabilization or something like that.
>> ac !!VPzQAxYPAMA
>>146713
Doesn't really have to be that much better, just has to be better on paper. So a resolution bump (or just bringing it up to the 1Ds III's resolution while maintaining the ISO range) would be enough.

yeah but the d3 has 10 motherfucking frames per second full frame
