Still, I don't thing this is at all a disappointment (spec whise) since the A200/300/350 wasn't in need of a replacement in the first place. Now, if they do the same with the A700, THAT will be a disappointment for sure!

Yeah true the A300 a very decent camera and theres not a lot else I would have had on it.
What would you like to see on an A700 replacement? |

Eh
Have I missed something completely obvious or are these exactly the same cameras as before but restyled!? No video is shooting them in the foot a bit and I'm disappointed it isn't included. Thanks but no thanks Sony. |

Re-styled with new software. That seems to be all.

I would like to see an alternative FF-camera to the A900, something like the Nikon D700. 12-16 Mp FF with more and better distributed AF-sensors and AF-microadjustment. That would complement the A700 perfectly, but of course it's not a direct A700 replacement |

Well, personally I'd rather have an 15mp APS-C (need the extra range I get from the crop sensor). ISO 50-12800 (with good ISO performance) 15 AF pts 6fps in RAW 100% FOV and 1x magnification (it's allright to dream right?) That would make me very happy, indeed.

How many times are we expecting to say this before Sony gives us one?

How about just an A700 with "more and better distributed AF-sensors and AF-microadjustment". That's all I ask for. FF would be nice too for sure, but I can live without. It's the focus that needs a tweek to keep up. |

Are we thinking the A700 price will plummet if the A800 is announced?
Or is L550 already as low as its going to get? |

The A700 will come down in price but it won't plummet drastically lower than that.

I think there isn't much room to improve the noise at this pixel densities today, and except for small special features the A700 has almost anything one can expect from a semipro-body (well, at least what I expect it to have)
I'm quite quick with copy&paste, so I can repeat it many times and I'm sure others would help me

Cheers mate, Im quite tempted to buy an A700 at their current price rather than wait and see so if its likely the price will be around the same I might as well go for it. |

I'm sure with advanced technology they can make it even better than the D300 or 50D even on the highest ISO setting. Allthough, this is far from my biggest concern. I'd take higher fps or better viewfinder over better iso performance any day of the week! |

Well, would there be any harm in waiting until it's replacement appears? (could be a matter of days of course). New A700's will be in stock for a while longer and they certainly won't go up in price after the replacement appears. Just a body like this won't fall in price quickly because it's not all that old and it's a quality product. Prehaps second hand A700's will drop even further, who knows, but it doesn't sound like your interested in second hand. Good luck with your choice anyway. |
