The recently discovered enhancement of {eta} photoproduction on the quasi-free neutron at energies around {radical}(s){approx}1.67 GeV is addressed within an SU(3) coupled channels model. The K{Sigma} threshold plays a significant role and the quasi-free cross sections on proton and neutron, {sigma}{sub n} and {sigma}{sub p}, can be quantitatively explained. For the reaction {gamma}-vectorp{yields}{pi}{sup 0}{eta}p, we evaluate the polarization observables I{sup S} and I{sup C} from a chiral unitary amplitude developed earlier. The I{sup S} and I{sup C} observables have been recently measured for the first time by the CBELSA/TAPS collaboration. We show the significance of the {Delta}(1700)D{sub 33} resonance and its S-wave decay into {eta}{Delta}(1232) which further confirms the dynamical nature of this resonance.
