You won't go wrong with the 70-400mm G - I was in Kenya for two weeks last October and rented the 70400G which was permanently mounted on my A77 for the duration of the trip - I also took my backup...

Quite said when anyone places such importance on the brand rather than the photographer.On the opposite end of the scale, I recall walking around Po Lin Monastery in Hong Kong a couple of years ago...

I went on a Kenya Safari & Beach holiday last year and the other advice in this thread is pretty spot on.. I ended up taking the A77 with a (rented) 70-400G, my A300 with the 16-50/2.8 (with CPL)...

I took this in the Orlando area during my first year with a DSLR and since then, despite having witnessed some great storms around the world, I've never been in a position to be able to photograph...

Seems to be some kind drug or alcohol induced reference to the DPR score for the A99 :)

I have a similar query to the op, i have the cash to pick up Tamron 90mm but as I only play around with macro shots very occasionally (I used to have a Quantaray 50mm f/2.8 1:1 which recently...

Great shots!I'm curious - what FL did you find yourself mainly using in Costa Rica?  I've booked a 10-day stay  there as part of a vacation at the end of March and I'm deliberating whether to just...

As has been posted already, you could use it but it will negate the advantage in moving to a body with a FF sensor.  Have you given any thought to an A77 (or A57/A65) as an upgrade to the A350?  I...

That is really going to depend on your own usage. I've only have my A77 for a few weeks now but I bought it with a SanDisk 32GB Extreme Pro (95MB/S) and a 32GB Sandisk Extreme 45MB/S plus i...

Well I've only had my A77 for a few days but from the few times I've played about with it alongside my old A300, I certainly don't have any complaints. I don't generally get insecure about my...

Quite worrying if it's still affecting new models, having previously been reported by owners of affected A55s.While I have neither an A55, A57 or A65 (A77 due in the next two days), I just picked...

Thanks, I'm now fairly set on the 3N1-33 as after a lot of reviews and videos covering a lot of bags (I'm all bagged out now), it seems to tick all the boxes.regarding your suggestion for a macro...

Thanks for your input - charging at the accommodation at all 3 areas during the safari portion will be something to watch out for sure - all use part-time generators so charging time will be...

Thanks for all the suggestions - I am definitely going to rent the 70-400mm as it seems to be fairly highly regarded in it's class and then will weigh up whether to keep the 18-250 or the 16-50/2.8...

having just ordered an A77 with 16-50mm 'kit' to replace my ageing (but still working hard) A300 and being just over a month away from a Kenya safari (Amboseli, Lake Navaisha and Masai Mara plus...

Stunning images, I'm getting close to moving up a level (from my creaking A300) and was dithering between an A77 or D7000 but having seen these, I'm definitely leaning towards the A77/16-50 now...

Superb shots, was in Skye recently and took a few bird pics with my old A300 and Tamron 70-300mm USD but they are nowhere near as detailed as yours. Looking forward to getting both the A77 and the...
