So what happened with the GX20 that he had reserved and so keen in getting it?
Strange reading so many comments by him stating how sure he was and he was only wobbling with regard to K7 but otherwise the GX20 was the one to go and now the A700? Can't even see the relation with the A700 with the GX20/K7 here.
I wonder if the op had the same number of pages regarding A700 in the other forums asking for advice

Very strange - Sony lost the plot years ago, which is a shame.

An interesting thread with a twist that no one was expecting. Almost movie material
Well it seems Chrism was wobbling between various manufacturers if you read back through the posts on the 'other' forum. Looks like he had a fairly strong allegiance to Sony and that shone through for him in the end.
I hope he enjoys his shiney new A700

Of course this does mean that Jacobs in Tottenham Court Road can offer a GX20 with 16-45 at a steal of a price if anyone else here is interested!
I had already thought of that, I may give them a ring tomorrow .. although I am undecided between a Pentax/ Samsung or a Sony A700.Of course this does mean that Jacobs in Tottenham Court Road can offer a GX20 with 16-45 at a steal of a price if anyone else here is interested!
Can anyone tell me what the Pentax K-7 is like?

I was beginning to wonder how long Jacobs would be prepared to keep that camera.

Edit: Mind you I have a nice Sony camcorder so I guess that will have to do for my Sony fix

Well I did decide to get a new A700 in the end, I had a play with the GX20 and I just didn't like it, it didn't feel all that great to hold, I would have loved to get a K7 but the price just was too high for body only, for £850 I got a Sony A700, 16-105, and Sony 11-18 all brand new so it didn't make sense for me to make the switch and spend well over £1000 on body and lenses.
That said I would have loved to have joined the Pentax gang, everyone here has been nothing but friendly and helpful!

well I see your point £500 is a lot of money - it might be best to play with the gx20 for a couple of years instead
£500 is a lot of money when £550 is getting me a camera and a decent lens!
