Yeah! SD card slots. It's about time Sony. C'mon Olympus you're the last holdout. Get rid of the slow, small, and expensive xD cards!

"Following up its great sideways rotating HVL-F42AM flash....." The F42 isn't sideways rotating. I think you meant to say the HVL-F58AM

The sensors seem the same and they took off mirror lock-up. The still have the worst viewfinders in the APS-C category too. These look to be dumbed down verions of their current line-up. Buy the current line-up or pay more money for a dumbed down version? Makes the old models look better.

I don't understand why SONY even bother in the face of the competition from Canon and Nikon, Canon and Nikon, even in their lowest end of dSLR are in a different level as far as noise performance and image quality realm.

WOW....Sony is using SD cards...Come on Olympus, whats wrong with you?

[anhtney]

Hmm...when I first look at the new Sony camera, I though it was from KB toys store. Sony must pickup a layoff designer from Minolta to come up with such style, look at the previous Minolta lens that come in silver cheapie look, I understand been creative and style but leave all that in the pictures not on the camera, Sony should focus more on perfomance and consumer need if they want to iron out their competitor.
