Sigma 70-300mm APO DG Macro Samples (a700)

[Dr. Harout]

Aha, these are great.
I think it's a female and from the second shot, I guess she's in love with you. But wait... what if it's a male?

Excellent shots, the detail is very good, but if I may ask, do you think they would have been better with the a900 or would you say that there would have been very little, if anything in it. I read a great deal of the discussions about the a700 and the a900 on this site [some of it I actually understand] and sometimes wonder if the extra expense is required to get good shots. I also have the sigma 70-300 and use it to great effect with my a350 but after seeing your results perhaps I should consider an a700 asap. Your comments on this site are extremly informative, keep it up.

More great squirrel shots Don! I also like this lens a lot, even if I don't have your iron grip for those super steady shots Is that your reflection we can just make out in the squirrel's eye in the 3rd shot?

Thanks for the comments and info. I've learned so much on this site from people like yourself, perhaps one day I can do the same. Regards Malcy

Nice Shots Don, like always

I think one of the big advantages of the a700 over the a350 is been able to chose iso points in between
iso 800 and iso 1600, some times the extra 1/3, 2/3 faster shutter speeds is all thats needed to go from good to extra sharp.

with my a350 and Tam 70-300, I've started using a monopod on cloudy days, seems to really help a lot.
