Re: Has anyone got a Sony DSLR A200?

Excuse me Gruditch while I have a word with Eccles. I have printed both the descriptions on both cameras A200 and A350 and a review said how good the A200 but it has no Live View.

Re: Not Lepidoptera (Birds) - 2

Very nice Eccles, the birds look very realistic. Now, are you saying that you have two lens on the camera and if so, why two? Would you have the camera on a tripod or are you on your knee's.

Re: Has anyone got a Sony DSLR A200?

Why buying say a Canon, Nikon or Sony, do the lens from all these cameras fit each other, like the Tamron seems to fit everything and the Sigma. So I seem to be looking for the cheapest camera but the lens will cost that much more.

Re: Has anyone got a Sony DSLR A200?

There's quite a few offers on the camera but with the Tamron lens you have mentioned is it a Macro lens, or one I can take birds. Funnily enough I have an old magazine Feb 08 and it features the Tamron range of lenses, it mentions the17-300mm @£120, the 55-200mm @ £125, those are Macro the Zoom ones...

Re: Not Lepidoptera (Birds)

Nice to have more photos Eccles thought you'd emigrated somewhere. I think the bird from the top is a female Stonechat we get a lot of them along the cliff paths. Nice Egret, is that a little one or a cattle one? We are having a nice sunny day to-day.
