A700 is an underspecified crap SLR, much what I’ve come to expect from Sony.
Image Quality isn’t the best, either.

Doesn’t Sony make most of Nikon’s sensors?

Anyway, it’s about time companies (all of them) stopped making DX sensor cameras and began to really compete with each other in the FX arena. The first one to break from the blocks with a sub-1500US full frame sensor will take a huge leap and dominate the market while everyone else catches up…the question is who will be the first company to do so…

All cameras can be great in the hands of a competent photographer, regardless of how they look. I guess most people forget how ugly a Holga looks…yet David Burnett used one to create a prize winning photograph.

haha, lol, now you are funny. Japan market doesn’t have anything in common to europe nor US.
As an example: out there huge part of cameras sold are micro 3/4 while where I live the sales of this cameras is close to none. Noone wants them when they can have DSLR for the same price.

U r funny dude. How the heck you know what others r thinking in the shop? or you happened to be working in one of the Sony Style shops? If the sales figures can tell you something about the consumer’s preference, then pls see

D90 is an ugly plastic toy in comparison with A700.

I’m afraid your mentioning D3X is nothing but bashing Sony if D90 is “best camera” for you.

well… you guys never visit a shop, do you? Out there ppl find Ax30 to be pretty camera while the ugliest is Nikon or Pentax mostly, lol… so…. sorry folks but what You think is not what People think.

“Were I interested in a Sony, I would not know where to start from” – Just go to first random Sony Center – people there will explain everything in 10 seconds if you can’t get it yourself.

It’s true. The D90 is best camera, for less money

Sony need to do a best job, to win this market. Sorry Sony, make a real D3X competitor, and we can talk.

Absolutely right on bugger. Sony got it all wrong with their design for the lower end Alpha models. I used to own the a330 but sold it off after 2 months of ownership cuz the toyish feel of it starts to grow on me.

Now I use mainly on D70s already. Plan to get a second hand Fuji S5 pro soon. Final target is the Nikon FX – neither D700 or D900 but newer model in future, that will use CMOS like D3s using.

not interesting at all

If design is not important, tell me why would Sony care bout redesigning their lower tier models and not just sticking with a100 or even KM’s?

Obviously Sony care about design and why Sony is such, is becuz majority of the market care about it.

Directions are from the majority and the majority are where the money is.

You are the minority and one who cares what works and not the design, but that doesn’t mean you should dish me out yeah?

“redundant” is the key word. Were I interested in a Sony, I would not know where to start from, as there are 7 new models all looking the same, and doing similar things. Hopefully time will teach sony how to cut some branches, and invest in what could make their system better (more prosumer – high-end amateur cameras à la a700-850; more lenses, especially primes and high-quality fixed f4 lenses, à la Canon; more accessories, etc.)

Honestly, you are the only one who cares about the camera look.
As long as ergonomic is ok and pictures are nice…
