DSLR | Recommendation | Buy From | Sony Alpha A900: | Recommendation: Wait Reason: As the first Full Frame camera from Sony, we have no track record of the release cycle.
However Sony have already released the same sensor in a $2000 body (Sony A850), and rumors abound of a "pro" model above the A900. Sony is aggressively going after market share, so we wouldn't be surprised at a new high-end model within the next few months to displace the A900.
