Digital SLR's - Any reason not to go for the new Sony

Any photo/camera buffs/experts on here who have recently invested in some digital SLR technology

Very tempted by the recently released Sony A100 digital SLR, i have a Minolta 35mm AF SLR, has Sony took over Minolta, all my existing lens's will work on the digital SLR, excellent, no need to reinvest in the optics. The A100 also seems cheaper than the well known competitor products such as Canon and Nikon, hs built in stabilisation.

Anyone got one and used it in anger ?? Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

I have the Nikon D50 SLR and a few lenses. I personally think that its the lenses that "make" a DSLR. RRS TDV8 HSE - Hybrid TV - Sunroof - Adaptive Front Headlights - Harman/Kardon LOGIC7 system

I'd say it is the eye of the user that makes the biggest difference, the technology is only an aid and can't replace skill and flair of creating the best shots.

I have the Canon 20D and its a fantastic SLR with a 17-85mm zoom and 75-300mm which covers all my need.
I would highly recommend the upgraded version which is the 30D

Nikon and Canon are the market leaders. All depends what you want it for. If it's just for good quality photos with no pressure on how fast the focus works etc either will do but as for colour I think the canon is better. I use Nikon D2xs's nice bit of kit if you have 2 1/2 k to spare. Not familiar with sony stuff but I would stick with either Nikon or Canon simply because of the extras you can get and the lenses available. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

Jaymann very kind, i definitely would appreciate a copy of the article. Not many votes on here for the new Sony Crying or Very sad however i am reluctant to cast my collection of minolta lens in the bin and replace them.. Another Pommie Bar Steward down under
