    Birds in your garden

    Photo take with Sony A77 & Sony 70-300mm G SSM lens almost year ago! To me it looks like Alpha & Omega Pigeon! It had a definite presence about him!

    Hi! I have no problem with Photoshop. Used it for 12 years now and that is definitely one program I use in 80% of cases. I also use Adobe lightroom v1.4. I think is way better to adjust and convert them in TIFF from there and then do fine tunning in Photoshop afterwards. I can't wait to take...

    Thanks for the answer. I am in London btw. I actually got an offer for Sigma from the member on this forum so I went for it and bought it. Should arrive tomorrow. Will take some shots in next few days to compare. Will keep you posted with photos to compare from Beercan Vs Sigma. I hope it will...

    I have a feeling we went to the same air show ;-) I was happy with Beercan but because of the awful weather on Sunday lots of photos had a grain and were not sharp thanks to low viz and high ISO I had to use 800+ usually. Shame. If this is photo of Sigma then I am going for it. This is my album...

    People I am about to invest in a lens with a bigger reach namely Sigma 70-300mm F/4.5-5.6 APO DG Macro to complement my A200. I already own Minolta "Beercan" 70-210mm and I am very pleased with the resoults but I tend to go to airshow and I need more reach. I would just like you to confirm...

    Telephoto Lens for Motorsport

    I have Minolta "Beercan" 70-210mm F4. Would you guys recommend Kenko 1.4 or 2x tele converter for me? I love taking photos of planes. Mainly fighter planes. Beercan was excelent and respocive but lacks little reach sometimes.

    Ypu are going to laugh People! I bought Kenair compressed gas to deal with those dust specs. It is very powerful so I was surprised to see that after few tests I developed even more specs. In excess of 20. I was puzzled because it does sound and feel powerful enough o blow just about anything...

    I forgot to mention one big problem with A200. Brand new yet on one photo where was predominantly sky I noticed some spots around 9 of them. I've changed kit lens imidiately and didn't take Beercan off after that yet there was at least 20+ spots of various sizes on my photos where I took some...

    Calling all Sony Alpha users!

    I am very happy with A200 in all regimes and with the ability to focus very fast and accurate. Quality of the photos are great but only when I used Beercan 70-210mm and Minolta 50mm F2.8. Kit lens lacks sharpness in comparassing to other two and also color is not as nice. Camera is good...

    E-510 Olympus!

    I've seen them but they are just the same size as the ones above. There is no button to see them in a bigger format or am I missing it somewhere? I would like to see the color, clarity of the photos taken by E-510 in order to judge it against my photos taken in a similar conditions.

    E-510 Olympus!

    Thank you for your answers guys. Anyways, is it possible to see some photos of the airplanes in a full glory please? I am into fighter planes and that is why I would like to buy something better then S6500FD. I am happy with that super zoom camera but 6mp and somewhat dull performance in...

    E-510 Olympus!

    To get perspective with that what is the actual zoom factor of ED 40-150mm on E-510? you mentioned something about being 2x crop sensor as well. I've read something about it's 4/3 factor vs wide screen with the rest of the bunch but I have to admit I don't fully understand the meaning of it...
