I'm thinking of switching from maxxum 7, maxxum 5 to a used sony a-100 or sony a-300. I do 90% indoors sports action wrestling from about 15-25 feet and 10%...
If that requires high ISO shooting you probably should avoid the A100. Although it's capable of nice sharp images, it doesn't perform well in the high ISO...
... By today's standards that's not very fast at all. I was thinking more along the lines of ISO 1600, and that's where the A100 is not as good as other...
... The A100 should be fine at ISO 400 or lower, and it will record a little more detail than the 5D/7D can. It's also newer and probably more reliable in the...
... Jumping on this thread... The 7D (+ vertical grip if you can find /want one) is almost identical in operation to the 7, and can be had for a song these...
My preference is with A700 even though it is not identical. I use Dynax 7 (Maxxum 7) for film and Sony A700 for Digital. I tried 7D but even though it is tough...
Thanks for info. I used vertical grips with Maxxum 5 and 7 so I could use rechargeable batteries. I think the Sonys and D7 use rechargeable batteries. So...
... Just vastly superior control for vertical shooting, and having the option to use two batteries at once for longer shooting between battery changes. -- ...
I have a Tamron 18-250. I thought it had manual focus issues. I went another route with my lenses. I need two now though. :O( The issue was me because I did...
Oh wow, what a deal. Must have been your lucky day. Now that I have resolved cockpit problems with my 18-250 it is doing great. I took it to Silver city last...
I don't know, but here are some reviews and comparisons for you: 18-200: http://www.newcamerareview.com/sony__dt_18_200mm_f_3_5___6_3_reviewid177.html ...
Sorry, the newcamerareview/kurtmunger site seems to be down at the moment. Those links definitely worked a couple of days ago. - RL ... ... here are some...
I have used the Sony version of 18-200mm since Sep 1997 as the better kit lens, first with my A100 and later with A700. It has been rather soft (f/8 - f/11 OK,...
Yes, both the 18-200 and 18-250 are rebadged Tamrons. I tested the 18-200 with good teleconverters. The 1.4x is not worthwhile; equivalent results can be had...
I asked about this gadget at dyxum last month, and pointed out the potential issues for Minolta/Sony users: http://www.dyxum.com/dforum/topic47858.html Not...
i have not used it in a minolta camera, i bought and returned the last two versions and have had no luck in using it in a leica m8. i will give them a try...
Their site says they are not compatible with Konoca-Minolta, Sony, or cameras that use legacy SD cards. Leica is not on their compatibility list. They also...
I dug up this explanation of the difference between SD and SDHC cards - which appears to support Chuck's theory about an 'SDHC protocol'. ... SDHC - Secure...
I was at the Sam's Club in Melbourne, FL yesterday. They have a 16GB SDHC card for $29.94. On Fri, 24 Jul 2009 12:11:01 EDT, LIVONBSLUV@... had a flock of...
