Sony Alpha 900

[trisha]

I am seriously thinking of getting a 900 body (once the price dips a little more). I'll miss the Live View which I find means more heads on bodies when shooting from the hip and really useful for candids; question is...how're people getting on with it, which lenses work well (no, not the second mortgage ones), and a bit OT...which stock photography sites which pay reasonably will accept the photos?

Thanks.

You'd need to check if the A900 is acceptable, some stock sites have a list of specific cameras they will take images from...

it's about to go up 18% thanks to currency ....

Got to play with 1 last week for the 1st time & it's very nice. I was actually surprised how little difference in size/weight there was compared to my A700.
The chap who owned it had a 70-300mm G SSM on it & we tried my 70-400mm G SSM & both performed very nicely.

You are going to want to put decent glass on it though as 25Mp is going to show up flaws.
