Yes... Sigma and Tamron both make A mount lenses - Tokina stopped making A mount lenses. Old KM lenses can also mount onto Sony DSLRs.
i think bro kingfishers is talking about David Kilpatrick's article on The Alpha 900 as a high ISO body
His approach is the Agorabasta approach, and has nothing to do with the lens.
But yes, having G lenses (equiv. of Canon L) and the excellent CZ lenses is a great reason to go S.

from experience, i find the optics quality of SONY kit lenses are so much better than others...
i had a 18-70 kit lens cost dirt cheap in 2nd hand market, when used on A700, output quality with a bit of PP work.. it looked real close to 1680 (only after some simple PP work) :sweat:

All this is extensively documented online... Exactly what are you looking for? We can't post 30+ pages of information when it's all already available (reviews, lens list with reviews, etc etc)
Thanks for your reply. Would you mind directing me to the website mentioned so I can do some research on it? I am thinking of buying a DSLR in near future and so I am in the processing of choosing a brand.
I read from many posts in ClubSNAP that buying a DSLR is mostly about buying into the brand and its system cos it is expensive to do a change of system once you buy lots of lenses and camera bodies for it. Lately I have been thinking why people are still buying other brands when Canon and Nikon are the leaders and norm in the industry so I decided to read up more on other brands.
Any help on reading material will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Actually Panasonic use in-lens stablisation in their Leica lenses including the kit lens.
Makes it kind of tricky if you want if you want to interchange 4/3 mount lens between Olympus/Zuiko and Panasonic/Leica lines..

Hi sis,
Each brand has their own pros & cons. For a newbie with shaky hands, I would require image stabiliser on all my lenses. I was looking at Pentax, Olympus and Konica-Minolta (now Sony) and I found that Minolta lenses tends to produce very nice colours and sharp images, hence I took the leap and I never regretted my decision. In addition to these, Minolta was the only one offering the eye-start function then and this is even continued on the Sony bodies. :thumbsup: While others rave that they have the most lenses available, then I'll ask them 'so of all the lenses the brand has offered how many do you own and how many 3rd party lenses you have?' and most of the time they are dumbfolded. :bsmilie: I prefer to use a dark horse, that's why when Konica-Minolta announced that they are selling their camera business to Sony and even when Sony launched the A100, I still went ahead to get a KM 7D instead of jumping to another camp which a lot of KM users did. With Sony maturing and launching more bodies, I pampered myself with a A700 and I must say that am I glad to stay on with the Alpha mount.

As you yourself have already stated, you're actually buying into a system, and not just the brand.
Some good places to read up, Dyxum.com forums, on Flickr Groups there's 2 big Sony Alpha groups, right here in Clubsnap, alphadslr.com are just a few examples.
