I don't get how people can say there's a better camera than the a33/a35 below $700...

I don't get why people feel the need to defend their cameras so strongly.

It's not about defending my camera. I don't really care what people say or think about my camera per se. I just think it's a shame that 90% of people moving from a P&S to a DSLR look past Alphas because of popular choice.

They are popular for a reason. The reason is not because they are popular.

I checked out the VF on the a65, it was a nice departure from my a350 and the crapola you expect from an APS-C ... Still saving for the NEX 7 or maybe even a x-pro1. While I'm still weary of a pellicle, the viewfinder was nice, big and bright with lots of optional overlays.

tHE NEX-7 is a good way to go. Plus check out this awesome mutha that have coming out for it! I would love some glass like this.

Conrad, I've seen you on here before now trying to create flame wars, you started off in the past with a controversial thread title and then seemed to disapear completely when the arguments began! Oh here we go again, another deliberately controversial thread title..

It's not even true. Sony has been very successful with consumers and enthusiasts, especially given that they've only recently entered the market. Arguably, the a900 and a700 are among some of the best cameras of their generation and class, it's unfortunate that the market has taken Sony elsewhere.

Every camera especially entry level has pluses and minuses. if the pluses pf ypur body outweigh the minuses then you have a good body for you.

Not really, just stating an opinion.
