Hands on on the new Sony Full Frame A850 and A900, the only differences are matte body finish, 98% coverage viewfinder and 3fps. You save 1k for it, quite worth it huh? It's even cheaper than the Nikon D300s, where to find a full frame camera with that kind of price tag?
Sony's marketing strategy is superb, first with the introduction of the A230/A330/A380 to lure all the compact/prosumer camera users or even new camera users to venture into DSLRs world , then slowly poison them with the pro-entry level A500/A550, then with the upcoming mid-range (highest range for APS-C sensor) A730 and the two full frame A850/A900.
Sony is building up their DSLR market status. I am sure one day it will overtake other competitors.
