Well, I reckon they've realized that they've mostly sold budget DSLRs so these 2 cheaper lenses fit in perfectly.
The A700 is discontinued with no replacement.
That's what I call odd marketing - no upgrade model in the middle.

Well, they showed mockups of 2 cameras several months ago. One was told to be a replacement for A700.
By the way, the A850 is not listed at http://www.sony.net/Products/ilc/A-series/index.html; probably discontinued to clear the semi-pro segment for new APS-C model.
