Sony, the purchaser of Minolta’s brand (and lens mount etc.) for DSLR’s, is *rumored* to be ready to release a new DSLR soon…

Isn’t it UGLY? Hahahahaha I know that’s totally the wrong reason to *not* buy a camera, but hey, looks are important to me. (Which is one reason I own a Mac instead of a PC, admittedly…)

Well okay, the feel / handling is what’s important, and if I put that camera in my hand and it just felt like a dream, I would buy it no matter how ugly it looked, but I get the feeling that Nikon’s design will always be the best design for the way my particular brain is wired.

17 days and counting!
