A700

Since I saw threads on the 40D and D300, I figured I'd ask about the A700. Have you seen any dates for its release yet? The SonyStyle site lists the body only with a 9/28 ship date, but the 16-105 kit with a November date.

Keith,

According to the information that Sony provided us this past Friday, it looks like it will be mid October for the A700 (body only) and A700K (18-70) kit and mid-December for the A700P (16-105mm) kit. I don't have our pricing on these yet.

Thanks,
Mike

Well Sony made a liar out of me. According to our Sony rep. our A700s were shipped to us yesterday or today. We should have them next week.

How many can I put you down for?

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks for the update, but due to a major time crunch I ordered them direct. In my over excitement with some help from confused Sony operators, I have 2 showing up Friday in 2 different states.

However, do you have any updates on the Vertical Grip? I know I'll be getting one later along with the hard LCD protector and likely a pair of batteries.

I used some credit I had stored up with Sony to order mine with the grip but I will also be looking for some extra batteries and the screen protector. I would prefer to buy from you guys if I can.
