I think Sony may have abandoned their full frame line. Both are
discontinued and have been for some time. A pity really since the A900
was supposed to be quite nice, and the A850 was very inexpensive for
what it was.

The NEX-7 is on the back-burner. I ordered it from Amazon last
September and due to the flooding disaster in Thailand, production was

in two days. At that point I had a different financial priority so I
cancelled the order. I still find it highly desirable for a small
light travel kit.
Thanks for the other thoughts.For landscape work what I need most is
resolution and accurate exposure.

I suppose that if you had bought NEX-7 thence, you'd have 24 MP and
you would be less "worried" by 36 MP of D800. But seriously, it may
well be a good thing that you did not buy NEX-7 as I suppose soon
enough they will have to produce an upgrade anyway. Also Sony is long
overdue with their upgrade of the full frame line - I think A900 and
A850 are among the oldest on the market now (unless they've already
been discontinued anyway). So may be next announcement from Sony would
be worth your while...
I should however point out that at least Canon don't cancel 5M2 having
introduced 5M3. So they're allowing themselves to split the prices and
either you get an oldish camera for fewer bucks or you shell out for
new one. So it seems the "affordable full frame" camera prices took a
dive towards USD 2500 during previous Moore cycle and now they're on
the bounce, so to speak. Not talking here about how various FF DSLRs
compare between themselves.
