Verdict
Pick the Nikon D800E if you prioritize higher resolution for stills and more modern video capabilities at a lower price. The Sony A900 stays the better choice if you need in-body stabilization or slightly faster continuous shooting, provided the older sensor and lack of 1080p video don’t outweigh those benefits.
