I have an A900 and A700. I have had horrible luck with the A700, for some reason the AF function stops working, and when using spot metering, I notice it doesn't respond very well. When I was looking for a FF, I was having a hard time choosing between the A850 and A900, I decides that the A900 was a better fit for my shooting needs, but I think now that my A700 is on its very last legs, I will probably get the A850 as a backup camera to the A900.

I loved my A700, however with all it's recent issues, and only owning if for just over a year, I have to say that in the end I'm very disappointed in the quality. And to send it off to repair would cost just under $500.00, when as many of you know you can buy a brand new of for about $800.00. With all that said, I still got some amazing shots from the A700.
