Eeeerh.....spectacular? yes.....cheap? no, Winsor, they won't be cheap.
On a slightly brighter side, base-reference zoom lenses are on their way.
Soon.
10MP Sony A-100 won't be too much of a problem eventually as sales will
level out in Q1 2007. Right now, yes, because when the A-100 was launched,
no prime competitor was launching. Sales figures spiked unrealistically for
June-July figures especially in Japan (courtesy of figures from Ali ~
thanks) but they will subside. Remember, Canon just released the Rebel XTi
(still don't like it, anyway) and Nikon, the D80. Both came AFTER the A-100
but still to early to register any big sales figures yet.
By very late this year, the A-100 will begin to be hit big. That's when you
see the E-3.
