Re: Amazing amount of fine detail captured by the Sony Alpha 900

Lonnie...great story. Glad to have you and please do post some pictures when you get the chance. I will. As soon as I can find a decent site to host photos. (suggestions?) I have no real post processing ability at the moment, so it's all basically straight out of the camera stuff at this point. (su...

Re: Amazing amount of fine detail captured by the Sony Alpha 900

Don, I came here to learn about a very nice peice of equipment that I was given as a gift. For all her sweetness my GF, didn't know what she was buying. She went into a store, and said "give me the best" (she has been overseas for 2 months). As a result, I go an A900 and a really nice CZ 1...

Re: Amazing amount of fine detail captured by the Sony Alpha 900

my reply to you was perfectly appropriate. Well you can make your point without being a pointy stick. Or maybe YOU can't.... EDIT: Nice edit job to add "REASONABLE". No, it wasn't. As I said, I am just here to learn. I think you have a lot of knowledge, you don't have to be but with the w...

Re: Amazing amount of fine detail captured by the Sony Alpha 900

Exactly as I figured. Many cameras do very well with image stabilization at the wide end. Thanks anyway. Dude, why the snippy response? I am just here to learn. I have been nothing but cordial. Were you born a jerk or did you have to work at it? If this is the level of community here, thanks, I thi...

Re: Amazing amount of fine detail captured by the Sony Alpha 900

I have used AS/SSS for the last half decade on longer with the z3, z5, A2, the KM5D, the Sony a100, and now the Sony a700. Please post a few of your extreme handheld 300mm shots and a few of your best hand held 450mm slow SS shot samples. Let me borrow the long lenses and I will. Most of my stuff i...

Re: Amazing amount of fine detail captured by the Sony Alpha 900

You may have also needed a tripod as well, and in that case I can promise you that the creature would have been long gone if you could have even set your tripod rig up to get the shot in the first place. You really need to check out the image stabilization capabilities of the 900. As I said earlier...

Re: Amazing amount of fine detail captured by the Sony Alpha 900

If someone produces a 35 mm full frame camera with 100 Megapixels, beware. Given the limitations of the wavelength of light, no lens can live up to that resolution. I suggest that the Megapixel race is over. Marketing people may produce one of these cameras, but no physics expert will buy one. -Son...

Re: Amazing amount of fine detail captured by the Sony Alpha 900

The key for making $$$ on Sony SLR's is selling lenses and accessories, not 24MP FF bodies. This is why they are trying to get a Sony low end DSLR in every woman and child's hands. If Sony wanted to make more $$$ on bodies then they would offer D3, D700, and 5DMKII equivalents and that would draw m...

Re: Amazing amount of fine detail captured by the Sony Alpha 900

It's missing a ton of features, a quality JPG engine, and it's frame rate can not keep up with many other cameras, it's high ISO can be improved, etc, etc. Again, these are all technical issues that can, and will be solved going forward. No it won't...we are approaching the point of diminishing ret...

Re: Amazing amount of fine detail captured by the Sony Alpha 900

You guys miss the point I am trying to make. The point is not that the 900 might have some issues that won't work for some people. The point is that with the introduction of the A900 and other full frame high MP cameras, and given enough time, 24 MP will become the new 11 MP. 4 years ago, people tho...

Re: Amazing amount of fine detail captured by the Sony Alpha 900

I think the point here, at least for me, is that past a certain point, all cameras today take outstanding photographs at a fraction of the cost of what it used to (if you consider film and processing). The only real question left unanswered is "How good is good?" If you look at the cost of...
