While David chose, this is for Dresner. I have used the 70-300ssm G lens with my A100 and now my A77. Obviously the price is between the Tameron and the 70-400. This lens is light for its range...

Great photos... as for passion there's lots of possibilities. I liked the suggestion of Macro. I find I personally prefer photo editing to photography although I like both. As to sports, I just...

It's called 'analysis paralysis'. -- Regards Gary

I have a new A77 to replace my A100 - yeah! Love it. Lot's to learn yet to take full advantage of the features. I have the 70-300G and its a great lens with excellent IQ, relatively low cost, quiet...

So I just got a Sandisk extreeme pro UHS-I Card 633x up to 95 MB/s for $59. Seems to me if you have a fast card you can make good use of the frame rate and resolution even with a 15 frame...

The 70-300G is significantly lighter and cheaper than the 400 and the IQ difference is practically minimal. Guess what, you can buy a fast fixed lens for the difference in price. Two for the price...

You would consider 800 iso high if you were shooting with the A100 ;^) -- Regards Gary

Please don't consider buying this camera if you're that disappointed. That will leave one more available for others. I for one am exited about the low light, no flash, handheld quaility of the...

Good idea. I have used a rubber (hood) before ;^) -- Regards Gary

Thanks guys for the detailed explaination. Now I'm really confused. My 70-300G 62mm lens has a 3.5" deep hood which would need to be removed to adjust a Cpol. I also would only want good glass so...

Do you need a lens hood when using a cpol? Can I buy a 77mm cpol and 62-77mm stepup ring to use the filter on both lenses. The 62mm lense usually sports a very deep lens hood which wouldn't be...
