Reports from the field are that the A900 has some solid build to it, I'm looking forward to checking it out in the shop, but I like the operation of the A700.The A900 has already had a positive affect on the DSLR industry, can you imagine the price of the new Canon 5D-II if the A900 didn't exist? It would be at least 3000 USD, and more likely 3200 USD retail. Marty,

He meant 70-200 2.8 G ssm Sony has a unique color that are very pleasing colors out of the camera with no post processing compared to Nikon and Canon and owning the A700 they are a serious threat...
