It's going to be more like 35mp. The problem is that all manufacturers are racing to give us stuff we don't really need. I'm very happy with the A900 and can keep on using it for years. I really would like them to concentrate on stuff like sensor image quality, decreasing sample variations, dealing with front/back focusing whether caused by body, lens, or both, larger AF sensor area that corresponds better to the rule of thirds.A full frame SLT with a pro-class body, 25-ish megapixels and great low-light would be a great replacement.
Which is exactly how I feel and is the reason why I took the bold step of getting another A900, tucked safely away, just in case something dramatic happens to my first oneThe problem is that all manufacturers are racing to give us stuff we don't really need.

The A900 does work terribly well - mine's been sleeping recently whilst I've been play ing with new toys. I must wake it up and give it a shake!
almost certainly (I would) . . . . but don't blame me if you don't like it!Hi Jono
So should I sell my 5D and lenses and buy an 850 before they are all gone (I have a Minolta 50mm f1,4 MD !)
I honestly don't like the alternatives in any flavor.Great camera - love it. If the A900 is replaced with an EVF I suspect the OVF cameras will creep up in value, since then the only alternatives to a used 900/850 will be the D3X or 5D2. And those are of no use if you have a cabinet full of Sony/Minolta glass...
I think there are two points to keep in mind. First of all, there's an immense gap between "terrible", and "as good as the A900 viewfinder".Everyone here is making the assumption that the EVF will be terrible. This is not something we know at all. If the specs on the A77 are correct, the EVF will be like no EVF we've ever seen. Just for perspective, the 3mp viewfinder of the A77 will have more resolution than the HD tv in your living room. I'm sure that the next FF offering even with evf will be something close to "real life" resolution....
