I think the reason most people here are saying A900/A850 and not the D700 is because the OP said he is looking for a landscape camera with great colours, not because they are shooting with a Sony. He specifically said he doesn\'t care about high ISO (although he also said he doesn\'t care about high MP). I think the reason they said Sony is because it performs so well as a landscape camera and because a big reason why a lot of Sony shoot Sony is the colors, not just because it\'s a Sony. Although OP said he won\'t print bigger than 20X24, A900 (and 5d2) would still have more detail. I can\'t really think why one would want to pick the D700 for landscape over the Sony or Canon, not to say that it will do a poor job... but it\'s just not the first camera to pick based on IQ for that purpose IMO. Although if colours are your main priority, then D700 might be better than 5d2 ( I don\'t know).

I think the reason they said Sony is because it performs so well as a landscape camera, and not because it\'s a Sony.
