Just a few more days now, but Sony is already hitting the photo rags with the advertisements, this one from National Geographic.

The specifications as listed:

24.6 megapixel full frame Exmor CMOS sensor
Dual BIONZ image processing engine
Intelligent preview
100% viewfinder, 0.74x magnification
3.0″ 921k dot hybrid LCD
9 point center dual-cross AF (with F2.8 sensor and wide area 10 point assist)
5 FPS continuous shooting
Steady Shot Inside
No pop up flash

This answers the question of viewfinder coverage and FPS. 100% viewfinder coverage tops the 95% coverage in the D700, but the A900 lags in the FPS, 5 vs. 8, but that’s coming with a big resolution difference, and honestly if the price is right, folks will be very happy with 5 FPS (Hell, D300 shoots 6FPS).

So the biggest question remains? Price!
