Sony has fixed a few small items with the A-700. Battery meter is now there to see power levels. The ISO Wheel is gone, in favor of a drop down menu. Screen is larger for review. Ergonomic grip is improved. 12.2 MP is better for close cropping. I find the camera a little easier to use than the A-100. More information to see on the screen prior to shooting. I am not sure the body is worth another $900 mare than the A-100

Having owned a couple of DSLR’s this last year (along with the Sony A100) and must say that I have enjoyed using the A100 but being a person that like to be on the edge of technology I bought the new Canon 40D thinking that it will have what will carry me for awhile (it specs out very nice) But to my disappointment the 40D had quality issues (blown pixels) I know that there is a limit to what is allowed but for a new product out of the box I found it to be unacceptable, So I waited a few weeks and decided to stay with Sony. I bought the A700 and must say I am very glad I did. This camera adds a new enthusiasm to shooting. From the 12 meg. pix to 5 frps and the feel of this camera is very good. Also I am not sure that live view is a deal breaker compared to image quality.
