    Comments<\/h3>\n

    Nobody will even be surprised after the any leaks, pre-launch annoncements, pre-information, near-previews of these last days. Despite the surprising lack of LiveView on the LCD back screen, it seems that the camera is everything that was expected and maybe a little more.<\/p>\n

    It’s just that the price will be at the highest possible point for this kind of product. Sony does not want the Alpha 900 to enter a cost race (at least, not right now). But if the conversion rate was applied correctly, 2100\u20ac could become a killer for Nikon and Canon competiton. Unforunately, the real price will be 2800 euros<\/strong>. This is quite expensive, but in line with the rest of the competition. Sony Alpha 900 is still a pro bargain at such a price.<\/p>\n

    Last bit of information : As I told before the press was under embargo on the information about the Sony Alpha 900. Chasseur d’Images (France) just published a detailled analysis of the Sony Alpha 900 in its October issue. To be noticed: There is nothing about Canon or Nikon further new products (apart from the already clear Nikon D90 and Canon 50D).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
