Comparision of Sony A900, Canon EOS 5D Mark II and Nikon D700

My personal conclusion: The A900 seems to be a great camera. If you are a Sony user and want a full frame camera, the A900 offers great image quality (up to ISO 800) at a reasonable price.
If you are a Canon user, I wouldn’t switch. The 5D Mark II is another great camera at an even better price and Canon offers much more lenses and other tools than Sony does at the moment.

Nikon users who want more than 20 MP have to pay (at the time of this writing) a lot more than Canon and Sony users. The D3X is a better camera in many ways (but lacking video and sensor cleaning) but the much higher prices makes it unattractive for many photographers. Maybe Nikon will introduce a lower priced 24 MP DSLR in 2009.
