Fairly impressive bit of hardware. 10MP for less than $1000 with image stabalization and dust removal. Promised Zeiss lenses (a few anyway). View finder was pretty bright. I hear it is partially a Minolta body but heavily worked over by Sony. If it performs well, that price is tempting, but I would wait to see if it takes off. If not, you would have a body with a lot of promised lenses. It does have the same lens mount as the Minolta (A mount), so there are lots of lenses out there that will work and I always thought Minolta made a fairly good lens. Aram
