What in the world was the Sony designers thinking? I bet a freshman in Arts & Design could design it better. I mean, yeah, it packs quite a powerful punch, but hey, who wants to drive around a Ferrari-engine, Juara-body car? (no offence to all Juara owners out there)

This Sony A900 is the latest offer from Sony. Featuring a full frame sensor (for those uninitiated, full-frame sensor have the same size as a single frame of 35mm film strip, which is 36mm x 24mm in size, different from those APS-C-sized sensors, which are usually found on entry-level and semi-pro DSLRs), this fella is expected to go toe-to-toe with the likes of Nikon D700, and Canon EOS 5D, which also have full-frame sensors.

How many megapixels this camera have? It looks like Sony is pushing for dominance here, because the 24 MP surely makes D700 and 5D’s 12 MP looks pale by comparison.

But don’t start to look for your D700 and 5D buyers yet. Megapixels has nothing to do with your image quality. I’ll explain it to you in later posts.

Meanwhile, if you really must grab a hold of one of these babies, rumors have it that it will be priced in the range of USD 2999 to USD 3000 (Hahaha! Only 1 dollar of difference) body-only. And it will be available from November 2008 onwards (hey, my birthday is on November. Feel like buying it for me as a birthday present? I’ll retract my words from the 1st para and change the title. LOL)
