Well said Douglas. Obviously Sony did not reach the expected success with the conservative approach, even though it was able to attract people like myself to classic cameras like the a900. Admittedly my kind of people are a very small minority, just look at the 5d2 success not because of iq (it sucks) but because of video and live view. As you say, Sony only started to make money with the Nex and SLT introduction. I would expect them, very understandably, to continue down this path.
As for uniwb, I have never used it myself, so I cannot comment on it's usefulness. But I have used the a900 without it for 2 1/2 years, longer than any other DSLR I have owned previously. I couldn't be happier with the camera performance, even without uniwb. I understand that it is important for some users, but it doesn't seem to be universally considered as an essential part of shooting with this camera.
