Ok, so many of us have seen leaks on the internet about the upcoming A900.

Based on what you have seen so far, and your prior plans.. who here is buying the A900?

Sight and price unseen?

fyi-I will be getting one, for certain.

I just read on the MacWorld site (not a camera site, I know, but it is what it is), that Sony and Panasonic are scheduling announcements next week to introduce new DSLRs.

Can this be the flagship we've all been waiting for? How could it not? I can't wait!

(Why can't I find more information on this announcement anywhere else on the web?)

Besides all the things we have all ready been told, Here are I couple frills I'm hoping it has:

1) Bluetooth link so I can down load my images to my computer wirelessly and not have a cable to lose or break.
2) A way to link the camera to my GPS so I can record my location in the metafile.

What's on your wish list?

After tonight, I think I have a very good idea on where the Flagship is going to compete.

I agree that Nikon seems to be going after Canon aggressively. The $2999.00 D700 will compete mainly against Canon, but after now knowing specifics of this camera (price mainly) I now think it will compete with the A900 as well. Yes I am calling it an A900 now. Seems the folks at the Sony counter at PMA were only protecting the name of the Flagship at that time (even though I was assured it would NOT be called the A900).

Would say something if I could but I can't so I won't, so don't try (don't ask Eric either, he doesn't know).

I'm telling you because I want (have) to vent my excitement.

I "predict" the flagship will complete the first mission Sony is on, to establish a base level DSLR foundation that they can build upon for the future. I predict it will do so with an exclamation mark. I cannot get into trouble for saying that, I've already cleared it with the tower Houston :).

You really really like your A700's?

Does anybody know how soon the new Ff a900 come to the market.
I am saving all of my money for this camera.
