Sony thinks in long term development… and I love it !

Soooooo next century ! Very ecological in fact and cost savings ! look at the many useless competitor bodies …

I love this way of thinking, all should to the same with all consumer needs…

I was so proud to jump from A100 to A700, my A700 has let me earn so much money and continues to do so… My IQ is constantly better…

now, as a patient photographer, I’ll wait for the A900 replacement but I’m very excited to see how video features on the next A750 will be implemented.

If it’s a killer on ergonomics and video AF, I’ll perhaps jump on it… if not I’ll see later.

Look at the 5dM2, it’s a pro body with good IQ, but with unbalanced functionalities … ergonomics are not ok, and video quite not usable… quite poor AF.

A700 was taken down from Nederland and Polish Sony website too. I guess we’ll see A750 (or however it’d be called) on January, or something close.

I am waiting for A700 since August (IFA), when I sold my A700.
After two years A700 on market I expected any replacemnt. No, no any.

It is like if anybody can imagine VW discontinue Golf and say buy Polo or Passat……… Can´t beleive Sony wants to be number one on dslr market.

hey Peter, this A700 news item and the Sigma 17-70 one are both very interesting and true or highly believable in the same time, bring back the voting button and we will be voting positively on news like these.

Now, bring on the A700 replacement!

There is a huge gap in pricing between the A550 and A850. I could see a nice replacement coming in a 14mp APS-C camera with MagAlloy body, 98% viewfinder, 5FPS capture, intelligent preview mode and 3″ 921k display. Price it at $1,300 or so and I would happily own one.
