Thanks fellas.

Justin – I chose the Sony path mainly because I was very impressed by A900 sample files that I inspected from various review sites. The amount of detail is phenomenal for an SLR. I’m also a sucker for “great” lenses, and that pretty much narrowed the field (amongst the high mp contenders) to Nikon and Sony (with the Zeiss lenses). Since Nikon has no regular sized 24mp camera on the market yet, that left me with one option. Also, I suppose I was influenced be the plethora of positive reviews about the A900.

Not sure what I’m going to do with the E-420 setup now. I still love that camera and especially the 12-60mm lens. I’ll probably end up putting it on ebay though, eventually, since I don’t need two dSLRs. I’m also interested in what they come up with for the micro-4/3 system, as that would be an even better super-light option.

Jack,

Glad to see you posting again and it’s also good to see ice still left in Ouray…I was wondering what the park was looking like these days. Supposedly storms are heading Colorado’s way in March sometime…I just hope cold accompanies it. Congrats on the A900…why did you choose the Sony path? Also, what will happen to your E-420 setup? Again, good to see you posting again.

Congrats on the new rig – you are the gear king! I can’t wait to see a monster print. Errrr…..maybe I can because I’ll get the pixel fever.

Cool images – I love that 1st one.

Congrats on the new toy. I’m not far behind. I seriously considered the Sony, but with the glass already in my bag, my 5D Mark II arrives tomorrow…
