depends on how and where you crop. if you crop right in the middle, then there will be no difference. if you crop the sides or the corners, then yes, there will be differences because image quality will drop off towards the edge of the lens in most lenses. but the point is, at least you will have the chance to crop. hahaha.....

So tired of people debating on Nikon vs Canon issue. Nikon users will come and tell me that "hey, your canon sucks" and Canon mates will approach me and bad mouth Nikon as well. Retarded attitude, really.

Thinking of switching to Sony so that I will not be involved in that silly debate all of the time. Currently using a 40D. Which body is roughly the same level as 40d?

jdreamer: Same level and same 'era' - Sony A700. It has been discontinued, and we are eagerly awaiting a replacement.

You'll get the worse of both debates anyway from Nikon or Canon fanboys if you have anything else, though...

I'll just tell them to suck it up and go against either Nikon or Canon.

When will the replacement be released?

you are out of luck dude. the only sony alpha that is equivalent to the 40D is the A700. That is now legendary and no longer in production. Unless you search for leftover stock (not many left, I would imagine) or go 2nd hand.

anyway, why are you so bothered with people going brand war-ing? enjoy your photography! that's what counts! if you are so bothered with that, you will get even worst treatment once you switch to sony. BOTH CANON & NIKON diehards will attack you! i suggest you switch to sony for the right reasons, not for these, well.... as you had said so yourself.... retarded attitude.

Nah, actually I really like the Alpha line-up that Sony has been releasing. Especially A900 and A850 but they're FF and too expensive. The macho look and built in image stabilizer. Very interesting indeed. However, still new to Sony DSLR. Need to find out more.

ppssttt...

still got a700 units in digitalmall...

psst..what is the price tag?

i do cropping often too...especially when shooting kids coz i cant control them very well..so when they were running around..i might get some distracting stuff in the shot....i do crop 1/2 of the photo b4...imo the image is stil sharp..in fact if u dont view it larger than 1920 x 1280..i dont think u can tell any diff...

bro..don bother those fanboys..if u enjoying ur system..u should continue to use it..furthermore..if u change to sony..u might get more from them..LOL...thats something we had to get used to it.. =)

anyway..i if u not getting FF..maybe u shd waiting a lil longer for a700 replacement..and meanwhile have a serious thought about whether to jump ship or not...

On the contrary, the A900/A850 are the cheapest FF cameras you can find out there! Although the price is nowhere near the entry or mid levels category but if you compare FF to FF, you will know Sony has the lowest priced ones!
