It is a transformation, agreed - sharp, uncompromised detail and a noise structure you can process out rather more easily than you can get Birman fur off a loop pile carpet :-)

Excellent and thanks Don.
I made some shots too with the Macro lens.I don't think it would be interesting to see, but the subject was a red paper with a seal of the post office on it and a visit card under tungsten light and shot from 40 cm or so. Even at 6400 the details were quite acceptable.

Lovely shots Sonalta, I particularly like the photo of Dolph, Skorange certainly looks a confident and proud feline. There's something about cats eyes, they just look fantastic, that high gloss glass like appearance surrounded by that soft fur. I upgraded the new firmware also. Have not done any deliberate tests but took the camera and the new lens for a spin at my sons Pedal Prix this weekend and just messed around with a few settings etc. Once Ive sorted the photos I'll post a few. Here's a shot of Hercules one of our Abbys...cats can smile.

Sonolta,

Great cat shots. The A700 is even MORE desirable to me now than ever! Superb detail.

Question: how in heck did you get the eyes so sharp? What setting did you use for focusing,
or did you use manual?

I try to get MY cats, and the results are so blurry... well, their eyes are. Sometimes they
incredibly sharp noses, or ears.... I know my A100 is MUCH more limited than the A700,
but STILL, I would like to approach the sharp eyes.

So, please share your secret.... unless you have to kill us all after revealing it.... :lol:
