I've used the A850 for a while. My impressions:
Build: excellent
Viewfinder: excellent
Handling: very good
Resolution: excellent (provided you put enough a lens in front of it,
otherwise edges are poor). Don't use the provided 2.8/28-75mm (a rebadged
Tamron) full open if you want good resolution at edges.
AF: excellent on steady subjects, worse than Pentax on moving subjects in
less-than-ideal conditions
Noise: comparable to K20D (but the lower enlargement required make it less
obvious)
Dynamic range: slightly worse than K20D.
All in all: an excellent studio camera, doesn't feel so comfortable in
action.

Mark,
How are you with your A850 decision? Too early?
Impression; noise, HDR. res., overall IQ, build/handling...?
You put up a loving shot of it awhile back, but what with "Chicago" et al,
Wondering if your hands-on impression confirms satisfies your
expectations.
Thanks!
Jack
