I agree... In fact in most respects the Minolta 5D was a better camera than the Alpha, but it did not have the Sony name and also the 10 MP figure which attracts customers (it was after all the first 10 MP camera in its class, albeit by a small margin). Notice that Canon have updated the Rebel to 10 MP when the 30D and 1D Mk II N are still 8 MP, this shows that in their mind the people who care most about pixel count are consumers buying the entry-level models (aside from pros who use top-end cameras like 1Ds MK II and who buy top-end glass to take advantage of all those pixels). << Overwhelming market domination by big 2 is not only unhealthy but deterimental to us all, the consumers. >> I agree! I am glad to see Nikon doing so well now as well, for a while it was beginning to look as though Canon would become the ONLY significant player in the market.
