I was just looking through Photolife magazines 2010 buyer's guide. On page 7 and 8 is a new Sony DSLR ad. As a former Minolta film guy and now a Sony digital guy, I found it interesting that there is no a700 in the ad. All Sony's other models are there but, no a700. I hope that means a new a7XX is near. :confused:

Yes indeed the A700 has been officially withdrawn from the catalog. Probably a replacement for the next year ;)

If you believe the rumors a A750 is in the works, 14 meg full frame

Lee,

This was exactly my question for the better part of this year. I've heard tons of rumours (from no replacement to FF replacement) but no facts and Sony has still nothing to show. In the end my patience was up and I made the decision to switch to Canon. I do think there is a replacement coming,but it probably won't be annouced before PMA in february 2010.
