it has the looks. maybe they're doing one of those crazy advertisements again?

Rashkae · 1st July 2008

I think it's product testing and taking sample pics for the prochure, etc. I think for the A700 they were spotted in Sydney.

If they're at this stage now, i'd expect an end august/early september launch

you mean it just take 2 months to get everything ready and shipped out right?

everything's probably already ready to manufacture, or already started to manufacture

ryosae · 1st July 2008

gosh. then is it too rash to get an a700 now?!?

TME · 1st July 2008

It's all over the web... it's two and a half months to Sep... so patience...

well, the full frame premium will not come cheap. besides, some people actually prefer the crop factor

ryosae · 1st July 2008

hmm.. who here has planned to straight away switch to the a900 from the a700? of course, you'd probably have a guesstimate on the price, right?

TME · 1st July 2008

The number being bandied around is US$3000 on dpreview forums... whatever that means...

ryosae · 1st July 2008

lol. maybe it means we need 'band aid' for the hole in the wallet

Well, if you're dead set on getting an A700, best bet is to get one cheap from the USA, or wait till the end of this year when a lot of A700 users will be biting the bullet and taking that step up to the A900. Then watch the marketplace get flooded with cheap A700 units.

I may be biting the bullet... haha, I'm a portrait photographer, so crop factor doesn't help... so I've been waiting for a full frame.

i'm a landscape and architecture photographer, so i also have to bit the bullet

don't jump into full frame blindly. money don't come easy nowadays. buy what you need!

Money is hard these day as prices of oil going up. A900 is good to have for most. Those who have lots of money and no where to spent, by all means get it. Also those who needs for their work like product, landscape and architecture. As for portraiture....... unless ones needs to enlarge to 5 story high prints.........
