Sony is coming out with a FF camera, meaning the crop camera is going to take some time to match IQ of FF. And Canon, specially Nikon will have more more competition. Sony has the resource and know how(they supply Nikon with sensors...). Good for us.
the A900 was and is a FF 24MP Sony body. it's been around for a few of years too. intro'd in late 2008. so another FF body shouldn't be a real challenge for them. they've had 3+ years to work on it.
Didn't Sony announce a couple years ago that they were dropping out of the FF camera business in favor of pursuing the more lucrative small format market?
