It was the best purchase decision I made. The A700 is indeed both a thoroughbred and a workhorse. I shot some pretty great pics with it and using it all day was no problem as it was naturally comfortable to hold (though it can give your wrist a workout in one-handed shooting sessions). Even shooting with the older (but still excellent) Minolta lenses, the AF was fast and accurate, especially with the 135mm 2.8. All in all, this one's a keeper.

I didn't realize the kit lens was 16-105, that's a great walkaround range! I love the remote too - I would get a lot of use out of that since I use my shutter release cable a lot on my a200.
