DC Resource has post up their final review of the A700. They gave the latest Sony model a good review with the lack of Live Preview being one of the main disadvantages.
What I liked:
- Excellent photo quality (though see issues below)
- Well built, easy-to-hold body
- Sensor-shift image stabilization reduces blur on most legacy Minolta and all forthcoming Sony lenses
- Dust reduction system
- Stunning 3-inch LCD display
- Full manual controls, including lots of white balance options
- RAW format support, including a compressed format; capable editing software included
- Dynamic range optimizer effectively brightens up shadow areas of your photos
- Robust performance
- Can shoot 14 RAW or unlimited JPEGs at up to 5 fps
- Can attach an external flash via hot shoe or flash sync port
- Dual memory card slots; CF slot supports UDMA cards
- Camera can be controlled over USB using bundled software
- Wireless remote control included
- HDMI video output port
- Optional battery grip
- USB 2.0 High Speed support
What I didn’t care for:
- Noise reduction a bit heavy at high ISOs (workaround: shoot RAW)
- Tends to underexpose a bit
- No live view support (only mentioning this since everyone else has it now)
- Legacy hot shoe limits third party flash options
- Lots of buttons scattered around the body; some hard to find when shooting
