Hey Nikon owners....check and see just who makes your imaging chips.... especially the D200 owners...

Here is a little info on the Alpha chip:
10 megapixel APS-C CCD
Interestingly Sony has gone for CCD rather than CMOS with this camera, so it's not the same sensor as used in the DSC-R1. We've no official confirmation but it seems likely that this is the same 23.6 x 15.8 mm CCD used in the Nikon D200.

Since They Make Them!

Not bashing anyone, so don't get me wrong...I just find this topic amusing.

BTW, I don't own a DSLR as of yet, but I do own a Sony R1, and V-3.  Which I will never get rid of....
Being a large and medium format film shooter, the R1 (with waist level lcd) is perfect....don't care about movies, and burst mode...etc.
The V-3 is like a modern day version of some of the old film rangefinder cameras.  Perfect off the shoulder street cam.

Having said all of this ...ie. nothing,,,,
I have used almost All of the Dslrs out there at least once (trial basis, friends cams, etc.) And would gladly take one from ANY manufacturer....as long as there is some good glass to put on.
