Sony just announced a slew of new lenses for the compact NEX series of cameras (none of which do i personally own), and after having briefly checked one or two out- i can see why its easy to love them. 
     I however, a member of the SLR crowd; live to hear when the rumored a77 or a99 would become reality. That day has come (partially anyhow). The a77 is for serious enthusiasts or pros committed to the alpha line of lenses.
     Price? about $1400.oo body only. $2K with kit lens   

 Product Highlights

• 24.3Mp APS-C CMOS Sensor (yay, about 20Mp more than most people will ever need)
• OLED Electronic Viewfinder (i dont use it really)
• Swivel/Tilt 3.0" LCD Screen (the original reason i fell in love with Sony a series, the tilt viewer is best)
• Upgraded BIONZ Image Processor
• 2nd Gen Translucent Mirror Design (great for low light shots)
• Dual Media Slots (insert multiple input joke here)
• 1080p HD Movie Capture
• Built-In GPS (i dont use, maybe if i travel more, i will)
• SteadyShot INSIDE Stabilization (Phenomenal as always from Sony)
• Built-In Flash & Hot Shoe
• Vertical Grib capable (was my ONLY complaint with the a55, FINALLY available!!) allows for extra battery storage and less hand stress from portrait shooting positions.
