I have just recemtly aquired a Alpha 700(new), I am an old Canon user have a 20D and 3OD and qulity 2.8 lenses. I had from my Analog Dynax 7 days a Sigma APO Chromatic 70-300 and 175 -500 both F4 lenses. I find the focusing on the Sony very slow with these lenses , and easily confused when trying to focus on a fast moving subject like a bird in flight or running animal or subject moving towards you (running child. Is any one else experiencing these problems. When I focus on the same subjects with my Canon 20D the focus is crisp and follows any moving subjects and does not get confused with branches or blue sky. Any help would be welcomed

WHY do people complain about 0 live-view?
Who needs it should just buy something with it,including any compact/”bridge” cam.
No live-view =not competitive?
Crap!
When was the last time ANYONE used live-view to capture ACTION?
READ the fine print(not found in the manual!)…DSLR is about speed and capturing action on the move, with the quickest reponse time.
(press/sport/travel)
If you want to capture dead museum pieces which don’t move, use medium/large format!
Then you might complain about “NO TRIPOT!”

Samples look good..BUT Sony…., why no life view LCD? I don’t think this camera will compete to D300 or even 40D.

Thanks!
