Nigel Barker.... What camera would he use?

In his own words:
http://www.nigelbarker.tv/blog/2009/09/29/nb-recommends-sony-a900/

"And although in endorsement deals you get paid to say things the fact of the matter is the new SONY A900 DSLR is the best digital SLR camera I have ever shot with for a number of reasons."

"I actually replaced all my DSLRs and lenses for a full Sony kit."

Interesting, but I'd take that with a pinch of salt.

But I was intrigued by the part about how pixels are arranged. As usual, Sony's done something fantastic but doesn't let the world know about it.

Of course, thankfully the end result is something good.

This means that the brand doesn't matter.

BUt whats the point when A900 really shines in studio. No need for celebrities to use it. The more the company sponsors, the more it look like the brand is not good and they are like losing the game in business. Strategies in business is always like this. LIke C/N...too much sponsor but when we research it deeply we know who's the best. Now NEX is going to be out soon and people are asking what happen to C/N? Bcox they learning the downside of NEX and apply on their brands.

Sony dont lose out anything...they still have many other products to support the company brands but C/N dont have TV brands under them or Sound systems under C/N. So in world business...Sony is one of the top 20 with other brands but you nvr see C/N one of the top.

So whatever it is, i do trust Sony can be one of the best in multimedia areas including digital imaging. I wont be shock if one day Sony going into Medium Format / digital backs with CZ lens and not C/N....

Agreed...completely. Sony always done it..their products are iconic,inovative....and about putting on video recording on their DSLR , whatever reasons they have, actually I am glad that they 're not rushing just to follow the suit...
