MAP is the absolute minimum pricing retailers can sell a product for.
No, actually MAP stands for 'minimum advertised price', and is the lowest price that a retailer can advertise for a product (including online product listings). MAP is the reason that sometimes you have to add a product to your shopping cart to see the real price. Setting the minimum sale price for a product is not legal under US antitrust law.

we use MAP as "moving average price" in the company I work for, and it's not unlikely I'm using the wrong acronym (it's happened before).

And admittedly price fixing is supposed to be illegal in the US, however that's different than a manufacturer saying that the minimum price that their products can be sold for I believe.

My bet is the last DSLR he actively used was some time ago, making it easy to say the Sony is the best he's used yet. Well sure, by that logic my 5D is the best DSLR I've yet owned. If I bought a 5D Mark II, THAT would be the best. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Not taking anything away from the Sony though, on paper it looks to be quite a capable camera.

Yes "Price Fixing" is illegal but it is the collaboration and conspiracy to control a prices. For example the most recent case was several memory chip manufacturers agreeing not to go lower than a set price.
