Will you buy the new Alpha-700 ??

[rOnGrEn]

With the official announcement and specs of the new Alpha-700 out, are you impressed with it ? Will you buy it when it is released?

Lots of possibility, but lets poll to the 6 options below~

1) Yes!! I will buy it the moment it is out. Heck, I will even pre-order it now.
2) No, I am not impressed. I would rather hold on to my present camera.
3) No, I will wait for the flagship model. FF is the way to go!!
4) No. I am so disappointed in Sony. I am jumping ship!
5) Depends on actual pricing,handling and image quality. Undecided for the moment.
6) Others. Write your feelings in the thread.

aiyah, but i think i got it so cheap because i bought it exactly during the time when sony announced the buy over of KM. so quite some people selling their cams at cheap rates. i think i got lucky that i chose that time to purchase a DSLR.

Not many can afford D3 .... that's one of the reasons why Sony won ..............

its a double-edged sword. thats also likely because km/ sony field is not flooded with a huge range of lenses and bodies. so any release it a huge one.

Just one comment from me: The GRIP is really big!!!!!

Although it's feature packed, which I like, it's really too "tall" for my preference. Nevertheless, can see Sony carrying on the Minolta legacy of creating useful grips with controls. I am appalled by other brands' offerings sometimes. 7D's grip had it's hand to keep me brand loyal. Enough said.

As for buying the A700, if it's a worthy upgrade, I'll probably wait for price to drop after initial release (which is probably never for Sony S'pore). Then I'll sit on A700 until A900's price drop period. Meanwhile, I'll feed on you guys' reviews.

I'll wait to see what the A900 announcement shapes up to be like... probably end of the year or early next year...
