Got the camera today but I'm still waiting on the CF card from another vendor.  :angry:

I can't cite any specific articles but from what I have read, I came away with the impression that this was something that other manufacturers would be adding to their DSLR's.

Regardless of whether or not this IS is all they are cracking it up to be...rest assured that this camera is going to rock. Sony would not enter this market with a dud. They dominate the pro and prosumer video camera market...something tells me this thing is good. Send it on over I have a couple of cards to put in it and a few lenses to try.

ChadTower:

Domination in that market is more about product placement and price range than anything else... trust me, the Canon and the Olympus, for only a small percentage more, will outperform the Sony (and the Kodak even more) in a major way every time.

Sony is losing ground quickly in quality, and are also pricing themselves out of the market. They are 1 or 2 bad products away from disaster IMO. For the most part their products are still high quality though.
I like my digital camera, but it has an issue with the ccd where the colors go funky everyonce in a while - apparently an issue seen in every camera from several companies that used that specific ccd that year. A good smack or two and it is fine again. When I went to send it in for repair, they screwed me on shipping, and to top it off, the UPS guy told me of several horror stories his customers have dealt with when sending their camera's to Sony's repair contractor. I decided to deal with the quirk needless to say.

Chad, you really have no idea what you are talking about. 3 CCD's is for video camera's, CMOS and CCD is really something different and the need for IS is plainly obvious. Canon and Nikon have this built in to their lenses btw (which is actually slightly better, but far more expensive).

The Sony A100 uses basically the same sensor as the Nikon 10MP cameras. The picture quality basically only depends on the lens used and with the same lens the picture qualiity of these cameras is identical. Of course the build quality of the DX2 is in a different league, but you can obtian the same picture quality with the A100.
