Ok, I mused a bit this weekend (and a bit before this weekend as well) about the A700 replacement and its time to share my thoughts.

I had a conversation this morning with someone else about this subject, and decided it was time to share.

So here is my conservative list on what I think we will see on the 7 series replacement (s):

12.2 or 14.2 CMOS sensor- Doubt Sony would develop an even newer sensor just for this camera, as these are brand new, as are the new Bionz processors.

-New 16-22 point AF system, f/2.8 center and surrounding points

We decided to add this forum for all of the Sony A700 owners so that all technical information and gear talk could be quickly accessed and organized for this camera. Please, lets keep this forum for all talk relating to the A700, photos for critique or sharing should be posted in our Photo Critique and Photo Sharing forums. Any photos posted should be in relation to gear talk specifically.

Thank you for your participation!
