It is the first full-frame digital camera, the price of which has become less than the psychologically important barrier of 2000 US dollars.
The camera is fully compatible with the fleet of Minolta AF mount lenses , both old ones made by Minolta and Konica Minolta , as well as new ones made by Sony and Carl Zeiss , although DT series lenses designed for APS-C format matrices can give vignetting on a larger A850 matrix.
