Hmmm. I shot some pics at my relatives 70th birthday at the National Theatre last Friday, following on from the shots I took a week earlier at my colleagues wedding in Geneva, all with the Nikon D700. Some were at 12,000 ISO and they had excellent colour and detail. You have seen a few from the wedding already. How would the Sony have fared?
I like what I see from your skilled hands, Jono, but I worry that the A900 is a one trick pony - high resolution certainly, but maybe less good than the excellent D700, with its long Nikon heritage, elsewhere.
Keep the samples coming, Jono, including a few at high ISO (how about 6,400?).
I guess there is no one perfect tool, but we can dream :toocool:

Well, without having tried it, I don't know - certainly 12,000 would be impossible. Some have reported that if you scale the images down to the same size as the D3 images at 3200 and 6400, then the difference is not so great (David Kilpatrick from BJP)
Well, on that basis you could say that the D700 was a one trick pony as well - high ISO being that trick.
Actually using the camera I'd say the Sony was much nicer to use, kind of like a cross between Nikon and Olympus. One real joy is the 'spot toggle' exposure lock button - i.e., leave it on matrix metering, but if you want a spot from a point, you press the button and it takes a spot reading from the point, and then locks that until you press the button again. I use this all the time.
Menus are much easier and simpler (and with less options of course!)
No - we'll have to dream!

Mine, too. Wonderful shot! They all look great to me, Jono, but it's no surprise that you make the A900 sing. All the technical analysis is great (but boring to me) in the end it's whether you can use it to do what you want to do. Seems you can, in spades....
This last one was my favorite though
