Yes, they are the internet division of Wilding Photographic, a well respected dealer. I have used them and they are 100% reliable, I've known the parent company for - 30 years plus.

I wouldn't get your hopes up too high - it says 'No Stock' on their website, and it is nearly £200 less than the body only price - maybe they typed the wrong price in by mistake. However, if the price is genuine and they can guarantee delivery within a reasonable timeframe, go for it!

gusm35, did I read correctly (before the forum went crazy) that you have BOTH the Sony a350 and a700 on the way? Way to not compromise! How in the world did you get that one by the wife?

Save the reciepts! Sooner or later she's going to see these two cameras and you'll have to either return one or prove that they didn't set you back by too much. Or, perhaps if you don't let her see them both at the same time she won't know the difference?

I'm trying to image what my wife would say or do if my a700 was suddenly wearing a 70-300 G SSM (she gave me the beercan as a wedding present).

i had bought the 350 as my main camera but got such a good deal on the 700.
I will probably sell the 350 and keep the 100 as a back up but is she dont notice i will sell the 100 and keep the 350 :wink:

I was not sure about being able to sell our most recent A100, so I handed the complete kit (in very good condition, complete, almost as new) with 18-70mm and a spare battery to my local small camera shop. He put it in the window and it sold within a week for £250 ($500) returning £200 to me. We have one A100 fitted with sa Haoda Fu screen, and with almost a year more use, which are not selling - it made sense to sell the nearly-new example with all its boxes, cards, software etc untouched.

An Alpha 100 with 18-70 kit lens has just sold for £285 on Ebay, which is what I paid for mine last year (unused)! Alpha 100 Prices seem to be holding up surprisingly well. It's amazing, there are people on Ebay trying to sell A700's for more than the price being asked by reputable dealers for new ones. Ebay is not a happy hunting ground for Sony Alpha bargains.
