A tip for Chris: don't use the same nic in 2 different forums!

Sounds like a bit of bargain Chris, were there any other features other than price and handling of the GX20 that turned you back to Sony.

Btw I see that neither the body or lenses offer weather and dust protection (useful for landscape photography)

It isn't totally weatherproofed no but from other peoples experiences it can certainly withstand a sprinkling of rain no problem, and I have a rain cover for it anyway!

I did prefer that high res LCD screen of the A700 over the GX20 also, I was also swayed by the bargain UWA lens, the Sony 11-18 I spotted, was only £249.00 brand new! Certainly less than buying a Pentax 12-24!

Its funny I was in Jacobs in Edinburgh yesterday and noticed they have a GX20 on display, the one that I had shipped up from London, that was going to be £549 for lens and body.

Its now on sale £550 Body only and £349 for the lens!

Inflated pricing?
