thanks David - I will take all of this into note for sure. Really appreciate the views you give Cheers G

Wow! thanks guys for all your advice - it really has stopped me dead in my tracks and made me evaluate things in greater detail. Maybe the best bet will be to see whta the A77 is actually like. My main fears were that it may be small in the hand (I love the chunky feel of the A700) and that the...

:thumbs: Thanks - I think I will go take a look at the D7000. The D700 appeals but like you have mentioned, it is the FF dilemma over losing all that extra reach. however, would it be fair to say that you could crop the D700 and still get enviable results compared to the D7000? Thanks so much...

Sounds like I should be taking a look at the D7000 then? I was quite surprised when I just saw the 'noise' comparison test on DP against the 7D, D7000 and the A55SLT. I had assumed that the Nikon and Canon's would be a lot better but they say that the they are all very similar.....it's all very...

Thanks Darren - Interesting points that you have raised. I had not looked at the D7000 but when you factor in the extra cost in good glass it may be a worth looking at. What I am worried about is spending out on new gear to then find that I wished I had something better. I have never used any...

Hi All, I have got some pretty bad scratches now on my A700 LCD screen and am at a loss as to how to get this fixed/repaired cheaply. I was advised by another site to try and use DISPLEX. I bought this and tried applying one coat to it and rubbed away...sadly to no avail :-( I am guessing that...

Loving that first picture:clap: Welcome to the A700 Club ;)

Quick question - Is it a big jump from an A200 to the A700 in terms of picture quality? Has anyone made this move themselves or know of any reviews out there? I have an A200 and am trying to see if it is worth the difference. Thanks all, G
