Hi Pirate - I think you mean A700 in the title line :shock: , The A7000 would be a very exciting prospect :D . Mike had already raised this here http://www.photoclubalpha.com/forum/vie ... =25&t=3010. I wonder how much stock they have left?
Nex 5, Nex 6 (IR), A7M2, A99 and a bunch of lenses.

Yeah, that is a very high price for the 1985 Alpha 7000. :)

Birma buddy, I think it is the best time to buy a non used camera at that price, and what camera... an A700. Go for it and sell your A100. You won't regret. :idea:
A99 + a7rII + Sony, Zeiss, Minolta, Rokinon and M42 lenses

The more we publicise it the more people can benefit!
A superb camera at that price.

Birma, what are you waiting for (unless you want video of course).
I jumped when it was £550 and haven't regreted it.
Still use the A100 occasionally but the A700 is in a different league.

All my Sony SLT gear gone. Still got my RX100 though.

Thanks for the tip-off Pirate. Just called Camera World this morning and they were sold out over the week-end. They called back to advise me of the arrival of two more A700 bodies. One is now on its way to me at the advertised price of £499.99 body only. My old A700 will go to my son. This camera has been and still is fine for me and at this price it's a winner. It would also indicate that Sony UK must still have some available.
