Thanks for the feedback. I've just been offered some photographic work as well (sideline) which could help offset the purchase cost.
The lack of a PC connected Live View is a bummer although it does have HDMI TV output. A small TV in the OB ??
But the OLEO screen at back has amazing clarity and magnification so checking focus could be ok.
I have a Sigma 18-70 lens, a KM 28-105 and the KM 70-300, all of which get rated up by the 2/3 sensor of course. All nice glass. I also have the big SONY 5600 Flash gun, the 'Suntanner' as it gets called.
With 24MP I don't think I'd need a scope, just the 300 (@450mm) on the EQ6 and crop what I want out of the huge RAW pic file.
The A77 is looking the more likely buy as I'm thinking to get back into photography as a retirement 'business'. I have some ideas I'd like to explore.
It means I won't do an IR filter mod but at this point that is not a priority.

Argh, decisions, decisions.... !!
