Again, these are all technical issues that can, and will be solved going forward.Sonolta wrote:It's missing a ton of features, a quality JPG engine, and it's frame rate can not keep up with many other cameras, it's high ISO can be improved, etc, etc.
Sonolta wrote:No it won't...we are approaching the point of diminishing returns with high MP counts on this sensor format. Lens quality can not keep up, diffraction becomes an issue, noise control becomes an issue, frame rate become an issue...etc.etc.etc.
Well, that is a matter of opinion. You can make a technical case for what people NEED (although in reality, it is still just opinion). You cannot make a technical arguement for what people WANT. I don't think Sony is having any problems selling the 900, simply on the 24 mp # alone. There are alway people that have to have the biggest and "the best" (again opinion), this camera is made for them. The Corvette isn't the best made car in the world, it's expensive, it's totally impratical for most people, but it is fast and people buy just because of that.Sonolta wrote:24MP is beyond what most of need or want and that is the facts jack.
I am guessing the time frame is two to three years for most folks to be well on their way to converting to 24+MP full frame cameras. "Full" adaption within 5 (24MP will standard, with some holdouts). All of these other issues you mention can be overcome with engineering. All engineering issues can be solved with enough time and $$.Sonolta wrote:Like I said before...24MP FF will NOT be the standard (at least for a very, very long time). It might be a standard if you want resolution only and you want to use a DSLR and not a MF camera. But if you want a tool for almost every job a great 12-16MP FF offering with great high ISO, a faster frame rate, live view, and video will be the camera the suits most people just fine in the future.
Sonolta,Sonolta wrote:The key for making $$$ on Sony SLR's is selling lenses and accessories, not 24MP FF bodies. This is why they are trying to get a Sony low end DSLR in every woman and child's hands. If Sony wanted to make more $$$ on bodies then they would offer D3, D700, and 5DMKII equivalents and that would draw many more users, and compel many more system conversions. I suppose Sony does not yet posses technology or the experience or the money to do this so that is why you see them playing the MP race game offer limited features game and not much in the high end. Sony also needs to expand the lens lineup to include true quiet focus lenses, a TnS lineup, a full macro accessory lineup, and they also need to fill out the existing lineup in addition to adding more usable FF bodies and advanced APS-C models.

Well, I think Sony did learn THAT lesson: look what happened with the Blue Ray and all the technology behind.Lonnie Utah wrote: I think we are coming to a common understanding/agreement. Do you remember Betamax? Who introduced that? Oh, yeah, it was SONY! Do you think they learned a lesson from that? You betcha.....
Don, this may not be politically correct, but I have to say I enjoy seeing your cheerleader photos more than the football player photos.Sonolta wrote:And now to the girls....Yeah, I have several games worth of dance and cheer pix I have not yet edited. I got lazy as I have a few guys shooting (with D3's) for me and I posted those galleries instead of editing my own pix.
Please post some when you feel like it. I guess it would be hopelessly sexist for you to start a thread where we could all post photos of pretty girls..... There is a way to do this, (100MP camera) but not on a 35mm sensor. The model is the eye of an insect, multiple lenses and multiple sensors stitched together with a "brain". however, this is most likely not a practical solution for most applications. I could see uses in science applications like astronomy and cell biology....Sonolta wrote:If someone produces a 35 mm full frame camera with 100 Megapixels, beware. Given the limitations of the wavelength of light, no lens can live up to that resolution. I suggest that the Megapixel race is over. Marketing people may produce one of these cameras, but no physics expert will buy one.

I stand to learn much from that wisdom Don, thank you again.Sonolta wrote:Carl, it's called thinking, comprehension, and understanding. I am not a sheeple and I will not act like a sheeple. FTR I just tried to contact you by PM but it appears as if your settings are not allowing me? I have been having trouble receiving PM's lately so maybe the trouble is with the forum or my account and not your settings?
-Sonolta
Thats an excellent idea Don, I should do just as you've suggested on both counts.Sonolta wrote:Do other logged in PA users see a PM button listed under Carl's posts?
Carl, why don't you make a few posts related to camera performance and it's feature set? Or maybe you can tell us how you finally found out how great the 7D is four and one-half years after it was released?
-Sonolta
No Don, you aren't wrong. You are never wrong. I think you have made that quite clear for everyone, no sense in you asking me that question.Sonolta wrote:Maybe you would you like me to do it for you? Would that be better for you? When you finally find your posting game please be sure to include some real world a900 high ISO work, and if you have any real world low light action shots I would love to see a few of those as well.
Carl, from what I see here in this forum you have the same posting problem over at DPR...you post a bunch of smart a$$ one-liners that don't mean a hoot. Am I wrong on this? Or am I just the wrong threads?
-Sonolta
I am sorry Don no I do not have any solid threads I can point you to ....other than the time you asked if the A200 would be a good back up body and I went into some detail as to why I thought it was.Sonolta wrote:When are you going to start posting those a900 and 7D speaks? Can you point me to any solid threads you have contributed here?
