Ok, so I'm probably the only A-mounter here - but these specs make it an interesting mid range battle....

Looks like Sony have listened to some of the grips people had with the A100, nice to see. There putting themselves right in the mix with this one, should be a good seller.
Have you heard any pricing yet?

Mike, at moment, it's hard to tell. Circa $1400 (and when A100 released, Sony hit near conversion rates) so anywhere between £700 and £1200 depending on Sony's marketing or lack, thereof!

Popphoto has a review with images, using iso between 800 and 6400 - noise control is amazing! AF tracking now works a treat (just like the old Dynax 7 days!), with 5fps shooting. The lack of live view (at times so convoluted, but hey, gadget guys love features!) may be a missed opportunity, but the lcd appears to be the brightest/clearest in the business. I think Sony are aiming at the 40D buyer now.
