This being said I still feel like they've been lagging behind for a few years now as have Pentax.
If I recall correctly (off the top of my head) their entry dslrs are decent. But why bother if the day you want to switch to a better model you're left swooning over the competition's catalog... yet stuck with your lenses.
I will however say that quite a few people I know have been complaning about the quality of sony compacts (lens quality to be specific). Which is a little odd because they're made by Zeiss so you would expect them to be good. Maybe it's a lens/camera compatibility issue but that would seem odd for a compact.
