Thanks Carl for the reply...

I'm the one you answered the questions on and yes I will get the A700...My mind is made up.

Regarding the 17-50/2.8 Tamron, I already have the Tamron 18-250 DiII and the Tamron 70-300 Di that you just had in the review is on the way (steal I think for $160). Also have the 50/1.7 and both kit minolta lens (18-70 and 75-300). Given that and the a700, do you think (considering low light) and 2.8 (extra sensor on a700) that the 17-50 Tamron would be a better alternative to the 16-80 CZ(which can't use the additonal 2.8 sensor)? Would use it indoors flash and no flash and for landscapes. The 18-250 I think is already at f/5 by 50mm if memory serves me correctly.
