"She would have loved it if it were a Nikon..." on by optika_hawaii
Pros: Everything about this camera is beyond excellent. It doesn't have any overkill B.S. that comes standard on Nikon and Canon. Sony cuts straight to quality and intuitive user-friendliness.
Cons: Doesn't have the gauche appeal of Nikon or Canon. You need to really love photography and stick to your guns.
Summary: If somebody had told her this was a Nikon with a Nikon label on it...her review would have been glowing, with an excellent rating. She would have gone on and on about how wonderful the new "Nikon" is and how all of its feature sets are so much simpler now...take my advice. I've owned full-frame "pro" cameras by both Nikon and Canon...and I'm sick of them both. I'll take Sony anytime. Easy to use, professional quality imaging and ergonomis galore. Intuitive? My God YES!!! The lenses you can use with this camera are great, and no other vertical grip can compare to this one and the one for the A900. Be the future of professional photography. I'm an ALPHA!!!

I agree on her bias towards Nikon. If you'll notice on every DSLR review, she or the other editors have downgraded Sony, Canon, and Pentax DSLRs but left the Nikons' score alone citing upgraded technology as the reason. Well the same should be true for the Nikons.
