Sony DSLR-A700
Discussion
Has anyone got an opinion on this DSLR?? I've had a Konica Minolta 5D for a couple of years and have been really happy with it and am now looking to upgrade.
The choices are pretty simple really. Sell everything and start again with a Canon. Can't really afford more than a 40D with a few lenses or keep all the lenses I have already and get the Sony Body.
Ta in advance...

Unless your "5" is dead or dying, I'd suggest you wait a few months.
The A700 has only just been released so the price is at it's highest right now.
If you can wait, you will save a significant amount of money (i.e. £100's) which you could spend on lenses.
Of course, if you don't mind paying the current price, KNOWING it will fall soon, the A700 will make a fine upgrade to your 5D.
The A100 is a nice camera, I like it a lot.
I bought it as a backup for my 7D, but must admit for "general" work I'm tending to use the A100 these days.
I wouldn't suggest that it is an upgrade in terms of features to your 5D, it does of course have 10mp though.
