     If you want a pretty camera then buy an Oly E-P1 or a Panasonic LX3. Both are also wonderful cameras and much better looking then any DSLR. However the Sony A850 is a totally different beast, it could be pink for all I care. If we are truly looking at the worlds first sub $2000 full frame camera then all I have to say is D300/50D/D90/K-7 who, what? Besides, if the build quality and ergo’s are similar to the A900 it will make the D90 feel like a plastic piece of junk.

       I like the A700′s body design, I was really thinking about either a Sony or Nikon .. So I said I would wait and see what the Sony August 28,2009 release would bring us. If it comes down to the cameras being real as in the photo of the A850, you best believe I AM NOT BUYING IT. The only thing that I do not like and think how the A900 is ugly is how the flash part on top is designed. That is why I do not like the A900.

         What the….. You seriously are going to pick one camera over another because of it’s LOOK?! Come on… it’s a joke, right? Joke? Noone seriously thinking about photography would never say something like that. Man… it’s just…. no words…

         BTW: A900 is far prettier than D90, especially with that weird LCD.

   It’s just a shop…. I wouldn’t be so sure whatever it’ll happen or not…. perhaps it was just a typo of the guy putting in the data?
