Re: What to do, what to do? Getting back into photography...

You already have a nice group of lenses. An A55 is available at KEH very reasonably priced. If you want new, the A68 body for $600 USD will work great with all your lenses and the upgrade from the cameras you are used to, or even the A700 being mentioned is absolutely amazing.  You will find focusing speed, exposure accuracy, dynamic range of your photos and the difference moving to 24 mp another order of magnitude.

My own experience has been with the KM5D, which I still used until it finally died about six months ago, A700 which I used along with the KM5D for over 10 years, and an A7ii with the LA-AE adaptor which give approximately A55 focusing.  The A68 is my choice for use with telephotos due to extra reach and size over the FF A7ii.
