They wont, not any time soon. They have just started pushing their SLT range real hard and still pushing the likes of the A77 to rival Canon and Nikon high end bodies but it is still a tough call to make. The mirrorless cameras are amazing and waiting for the NEX-7 here before I pick one up but not enough to kill off their DSLR range.

I STILL want the A900 though.
