I have nothing more to say other than....

WTF!?! That is insane!!! I can't believe it, till I see it and buy it myself ;)

Too bad it's a Sony.

Less than $500 meaning, $499?

I would buy it, even if its a Sony (they don't make bad cameras anyways).

They don't make bad cameras, but they don't make particularly outstanding cameras, either. How a company that uses friggin' Zeiss lenses manages to not make the best cameras on the market is beyond me.

Regardless, if you want a really good camera, there are really only two choices:
Nikon and Canon.
