Poll results — 45% have pre-ordered Sony A100.


Well the results of the first poll are in — although the response was less than what I would have liked. Out of over 500 visitors during the last week, a mere 11 voted — something like .022 of one percent. That is pretty pitiful. Maybe a lot of visitors simply came via RSS feed and didn’t actually view the sidebar where the poll is installed. Still… that’s a pretty slim margin.

The question was “Will you buy an Alpha A100?”

Of those who voted, 5 (45%) said they had already pre-ordered an A100.

3 (27 %) said they were waiting for the price to come down.

Of the remaining three votes, there was 1 each for buying a Nikon, buying another SLR brand and sticking with a film SLR.

Interestingly, no one indicated they were waiting for the Pro Sony model or switching to Canon.

Of course with such a small sampling, the numbers don’t mean much. In addition, since Alphatracks is aimed toward those highly interested in Sony Alpha and Minolta dSLRs, I would expect that most people would be intending to purchase an Alpha at some point.
I’ll post the next poll later today. Hopefully, there will be a better response.

    Have ordered A100 will compare to 7d with same lenses and CF card. less than thrilled with 7D exposures and less with the 50% investment loss.

Who is that guy?


Web designer and photographer Tom Bonner has three decades of experience with Minolta camera equipment

Hi. I'm Tom Bonner and I am the author of the Sony Alpha DSLR-A300/A350 Digital Field Guide, published by Wiley Publishing. I've been shooting with Minolta SLRs for over three decades.

Alphatracks is my attempt to follow Sony's maneuvers in the dSLR market, and at the same time provide a resource for Minolta film and digital SLR users. A-mount shooters have to watch each other's backs, because there aren't as many of us. At least not yet....
