The trouble is Sony have sold their sole to Nikon which restricts them from making any camera that competes with the d3.
Sony range is a set of small inflatable craft with no flag ship, a set of small town cars with no sports car.
Until they can make a press camera that can hold it's own and everyone gets to see Sony digital cameras in the hands of the Pro's on Tv, Sony will only ever remain a cheap option to owning one of the big hitters, a first camera you buy because it's cheap until you find out if you like photography, then you will want what the Pro's use..
