At present I've got the following kit -
Sony Alpha 100 with 18-70mm kit lens
Minolta 75-300 4.5-5.6 (D)
Sony GN56 Flash (£290)
Sigma 400mm 5.6 APO
I really like the camera and some of the features like steadyshot are superb and have had some good results, however, I feel it's not quite going to leave me room to 'grow'. I love doing sport and wildlife but i find the autofocus struggles especially with tracking. In addition, I'd like to get some better lenses but there's nowhere near the availability for second hand kit as there is for Canon or Nikon.
I'd really appreciate some advice about whether people think I should stick with what I've got or try and get it flogged and make the switch now while I can still get a decent price for the sony. I've been thinking of something like a 30D if I can scrape enough from the sale of my kit and then gradually rebuild the lens and flash options. All advice gratefully received.
