Hmm... D7D II just might be the minolta DSLR I am waiting for if they do come out with a 8mp anti-shake body at an attractive price...

Not looking for faster AF speed as most of the DSLR are fast enough for my purpose... Mostly I take my time to take pics.. Better AF accuracy would be good, better off shoe ratio flash accuracy and flexibility(Nikon's flash system is fantastic)... plus a more attractive price, as I found the current D7D over priced... Hope they price is as attractively as they did for their entry level DSLR D5D...

Think there might be another very similar sensor to this one too, for the Nikon D200 (which will be slightly bigger for 1.5X)....since Nikon already started using Sony CMOS. This 10.8MP sensor is a wee bit smaller than Canon or Nikon chips.

One thing anything > 10MP is that processing RAW stuff takes a fair bit of time if you are shooting a lot. And not to mention PC speeds have been fairly stagnating for quite a while.

High-ISO Image Noise: Better than any previous all-in-one digital cameras, not as good as the best current d-SLRs though. Images are very usable for fairly large prints up to ISO 800. ISO 1600 starts to get a little rough, ISO 3200 is unusable for anything but snapshots

at the price of US$999, give me a 350D anytime
