Liest man aber auf dpreview die VF-Foren von Nikon und Canon, zeigt sich, dass die A 850 ob ihres Preises wie eine Bombe eingeschlagen hat - dort gibt's mittlerweile hunderte Postings zu dieser Kamera, in manchen davon wird sogar Befremden laut, warum die A 850 in Sonyforen vielfach auf Enttäuschung stößt.

Die Marketingmaschine von Sony (sie gilt ja als die beste der Welt) war einmal mehr erfolgreich - wir (= in diversen Sony-Foren) merken das nicht so, weil wir in der eigenen Suppe dünsten.

aus den o.g. foren...

visiit the Canon 1D/1Ds/5DForum:

* Looks like Sony are attempting to take the FF market by storm
* Street price should be very competative
* The MRSP price is already lower than what the 5DII
* If Canon doesn't come with a new FF at lower cost I thinking to make the switch.
* For the majority of my photography, the Sony would be a better match
* For low ISO-to-moderate ISO, the A900 delivers better images than the 5DII:
* in the camera shop at street level, price will make a difference, that is clearly where aggresive Sony pricing will win out.
* Sony's entry into the DSLR market and its aggressive pricing strategy has had a dramatic effect on the prices of DSLR cameras.
* I seriously doubt that Canon would sit around and do nothing while Sony take sales away with its $2,000 FF A850.
* I find it interesting that it is weather sealed. Looks like a decent camera
* Luminous Landscape...has taken his A900 and unsealed Sony/Minolta lenses into harsh environments without incident–the same environments where Canons (bodies) have failed
* The relatively high FPS (for a FF at this pricepoint) and best in class viewfinder
* I have handled the A900 quite a bit { friend has one } it is a very well put together camera , with one of the best viewfinders I have ever used
* Sony just owned Canon AND Nikon. High quality 24.5mp FF camera for $2000, neither company can come close right now.
* they arent even crippling the a850, they only lowered the FPS, skipped a $30 remote and made the Viewfinder 2% smaller which apparently isnt even noticeable
* Nikon and Canon better come up with something smart soon.
* Sony is doing the right thing by offering essentially the exact same thing as the A900 (minor differences aside)
* The thing I like and probably everyone does with Sony's system is the in body image stabilization.
* This Sony is a win for consumers.
* Its detail at lower ISO is amazing.
* A 24 mp detail machine with a 2.8 24-70 and 70- 200 stabilized for just over 3 grand.
* The A850 is a comparable, if not better, body than the 5Dii in everything except .9 fps and video, and it is $700 cheaper.
* don't forget these A850 advantages: bigger, brighter VF with shade, 1/250 flash sync, better build, marginally better AF, stabilization built in.
* this is a wonderful "step up" camera for current sony users

Or the Nikon D3-D1/D700 forum

* The sony is priced only $400 more than the D300!, ...24MP FF for only $400 more, that is an unbeatable deal!
* A850 is same as A900 except for 3fps and 98% VF vs 5fps and 100% vf, oh and $700 less...
* What I do NOT have is 20+ MP for printing large landscapes, and the Sony body has all the features I would need for this purpose,
* a 24 MP FF camera at only $400 more than a D300 is an absolute bargain.
* the A850 is certainly competitive in specs to its competition, especially the 5Dii.
* Sony made a very good, solid, high resolution tool for photographers.
* Sony is making some strong statements in the DSLR world with A900/A850.
* Progress is a wonderful thing - and A850 is progress - lower price for an excellent camera.
* the a850 looks like a tremendous value for landscape and studio photographers
* A900 is better than 5D2 at tracking, locking and accuracy
* I don't see D700 as having a clear over-all advantage over the A900.
* The point is that Nikon FF cameras are going to become way cheaper in the months ahead, thanks to Sony.
* And right now (but not for long: Canon & Nikon will have to react) value for an FF camera is with Sony.
* Sony will be a force to reckoned with once Sony gets the noise down.
* consumers buy on the basis of a price point and it looks like Sony has set a new benchmark for FF (sub-US$2000).
* I would say that Sony has clearly put more pressure on Nikon today, I only hope that Nikon responds in a way that keeps me 100% in their system.
* Sony will cut in into Nikon's and Canon's profits by getting more new DSLR buyers to go into Sony system.
* I find Sony´s approach very promising and interesting to watch.
* I'm almost certain I'll be picking up the Sony a850 after Nikon announces their D700X

von wegen Suppe, dünsten und so....
