Hilarious because sony no longer meets the op's required needs even
though others may very well be alright with the system? What may work
for you may not work for another. Thier's no denial about the lack of
bright zooms in the system. I was on the verge of buying the a700 if
it wasn't for that deal breaker. I.S. while nice doesn't freeze
action.

Hilarius because the system as it is had even fewer options when the
A700 was released.. because the OP wants Sony to start with expensive
lenses before they they have developed the market for them, which
would mean the price would be higher.. which I have no doubt the OP
would then complain about.

The entire list of Sony lenses was listed when he bought his A700 is
has not gotten smaller since then.. yet it is Sony's fault.

That is why it is funny.

I guess if Sony never put out another lens after the camera was
released it would be OK with you!

Now that's hilarious!

Your are such a fool.. now you have to make stuff up because you
can't justfy you intial WHINE

PLEASE DUMP SONY and buy Canon...

I believe your quote was "the entire list of Sony lenses was listed..." HEY, its only 2 inches above! So what did I make up?

Sorry, I won't stoop to your level by calling you a fool, despite the fact your quote sits up there mocking you.

Clearly, you too missed the point. Sony released an advanced amateur,
semi pro camera which would lead most purchasers to believe they
would release similar quality lenses in a reasonable time frame.

No, the point is that you are unhappy and wish you had something
else. The solution is simple: get something else.

Now if you'd like to buy my A700 with grip and spare batteries for
90% of what I paid for it, I'll happily head over to the Canon store.
Hey for a smooth talker and discerning buyer like you, I'll let it go
for 85%.

I already have an A700. Since recently new A700 bodies were being
sold for $500 I might be willing to buy your used one for 85% of
that. If not me there are probably many others who will jump at the
chance.

I suppose it doesn't tell you anything that the camera is selling for $500? Or will you respond like one of your fellow fan boys here that you never said that? Oh wait, your comment is only 1 inch above. Guess you own it.

Now perhaps you can explain why a fine camera like the A700 is selling for $500.

I just don't understand these kind of pointless posts. Darn, life is
just too short to spend it bellyaching, agonizing, and feeling
miserable when you say yourself that the solution is go get a Nikon
or Canon. Just do it and move on.

There was another guy sometime back posting messages full of angst
that Sony didn't have a Nikon D3. The answer was obvious: get a D3.
I think after weeks or months of complaining he finally did.

I think you ASSumed too much and now blame Sony... list which lenses
they promised when you bought the A700 that you want now? Anything
not promised is an ASSumption by you.

Now those of us who purchased the camera believing this, have a nice
camera, without the needed lenses, that can't be sold without taking
a tremendous loss, since its apparent that most of the advance
amateur-semi pro world is avoiding it like the plague.

And you document this how? or are you again ASSuming you know stuff
without facts...

Not because it

isn't a fine camera, obviously it is, so you tell me why?

Now if you'd like to buy my A700 with grip and spare batteries for
90% of what I paid for it, I'll happily head over to the Canon store.
Hey for a smooth talker and discerning buyer like you, I'll let it go

That is the most pathetic thing I have heard from you yet..

You really are a victim aren't you? You can't choose a new system
because someone else won't pay for your error in buying the right
camera for your style because you ASSumed there would be a dozen new
lenses coming out in 6 months.... We ain't your mommy its not our job
to kiss your boo boos and make them better..

Be a man sell the camera on Ebay and go be happy.. why would you let
a few dollars keep you from the Canon Utopian Bliss you long for?

I guess we can't all be a big man like you moneybags and take that kind of a hit. You say you're so happy and A700 owner, wouldn't a second one be twice as good. I'll make you the same offer, 85% of what I paid.

Hey, a big man with your kind of money should jump at the chance!

Probably one of the worst reviewed Minolta lenses, the 28-100. Can be
had easily for 20.00 nowadays.

Get out there and paint some light.

I'm sorry, I'm missing your point. Is that all you want to take pictures of?

Any lens from a reputable manufacturer made in the last 20 years can take a good photo under the right conditions.

What exactly did you just prove.

Henry, I agree , if someone wants something different they should go and buy it. I have the A700 and have been delighted with the performance - great IQ, excellent AF and metering. I have a great pair of lenses that cover 16-210. One happy camper here!
