Alpha700
Some recent shots from my new best mate the alpha700. An awesome camera to use.

Re: Alpha700
All you have to do is stop the cat getting the bird
With the 70-300mm SSM the A700 is almost perfect. After trying the 70-300mm SSM on the A900, I realise it is intended mainly for the A700 (better illumination and geometry on the smaller format, by far).
Welcome aboard and thanks for coming in with three very strong images.

Re: Alpha700
Thankyou for the tips, advice and welcoming. We do have a variety of birds in our yard but they are safe, Ive constructed a cat enclosure under our home as we are on a sloping block, so the cats (we have 2 abyssinians) can look and not catch.

Re: Alpha700
wave_wizard, welcome! If I had to choose, #3 would be my favourite, although the little branch behind the bird's head is a bit distracting (I found shooting birds an extremely difficult task, so I gave up). And Sonolta, thanks a lot for your (as usual wonderfully illustrated) advice (in these thread and elsewhere). I don’t do cats, but most of your suggestions can be easily applied to family portraiture. Thanks a lot.

Re: Alpha700
Love the bird shot, and I've a special fondness for orange cats. Keep shooting, and especially, keep posting! This is good stuff!
