Right now, you get what you pay for. The Sony A900 pitches real exposures much darker in raw than the Nikon in order - as far as I can tell - to allow Apical's DRO Advanced IRIDIX chip to do its work. This results in much more noise, but gives them a chance to slope the highlights into a very gentle shoulder curve. And it leaves Nikon, despite their non-IRIDIX based D-Lighting, ahead of the field for noise levels. David Frank, I don’t think Nikon will chicken out of the battle with Sony.
