Sony A900 – First Impressions Sony A900
My photography-digital-imaging-hobby-obsession has started peaking in the past few months. After putting up some profiles on Model Mayhem and Stylished I started getting requests for Time For CD (TFCD) shoots. So I figured: Hell, why not try out a Sony A900? Why the Sony A900?

Photokina Nikon-Canon-Sony A900 Deathmatch
The beast tells you what it will do and then laughs as the bush men try to kill it before the Kong destroys the village. But this is the DSLR world, far more dangerous than any jungle, and Sony is indeed a vulnerable beast.

Sony over turned the high-end video and camcorder markets, and they’re poised to do the same with DSLRs – with the new A900.
