No short answer

The answer would be yes...

There is no short answer though...

The a700 is a lot more responsive than the a100. Although my own comparison is against my Minolta 5d... using the same 50/1.7 prime at iso 1600 I find I went from 1 out of 10 "keepers" in ten shots from the 5D to 10 out of 10 on the a700 because of its better responsiveness. You would also gain by having a faster lens. I would suggest bringing your 50/1.7 and set it up for 2.8 aperture with the a100 and try your results...that will be indicative of the faster lens. Also are you using auto ISO? Probably need to bump it up to at least 800 for indoor use...that will also help

I'm not sure how much difference in response there is between the a100 and a300...
