@all: Thank you very much for your valuable input! I like the idea of getting a 60D instead of a 7D. I understand they share the same sensor and imaging pipeline.
@popo: The 70-400s AF is about as slow as the one of the 70-300 G. Both are very fine lenses but somehow under-motorized. With the 24-70 CZ, the A700's AF is extremely fast and accurate. My first generation black Minolta 80-200 1:2,8 focuses also _much_ faster than the newer zooms, but it is also much louder, because it still relies on the camera's built-in AF motor.
