A700 is certainly a noticeable improvement from the A200 in terms of handling, build quality, features etc. & you'll get 5fps for motorsport.
Cameraworld & RGB-tech are both £550 body only.

The A700 is definitely a step up. I believe there is a replacement for it due in the next few months, but I've just bought a second A700 as the prices are excellent at the moment (paid barely over half of what I paid for my first one).

think it may well be another purchase as soon as the funds allow
keep the a200 as a back up body, as its done me ok up2 now!

the A700 is deffo a considerable step up from thw A200,A300 and A350...easier access to lots of settings like ISO,exp comp,WB,focus mode etc....
