Good detail zoomed in, considering that it's hard to notice where the bird is in the first shot!

I use DxO Optics Pro 11 Elite (most of the time) and Photoshop Elements 15 (sometimes), with both my D7200 and Panasonic FZ2500. In case of FZ2500, I find that the camera does a good job of JPEGs ...

You captured the mood, surroundings and the fun part very well. Nice shots.

Avatar: I have seen multiple comments between you and the other member below. I have noticed that you two have moved on from subject discussion to personal attacks. That's not something I enjoyed...

If it's a deal breaker, I am sure that you can afford a cheap Canon/Nikon body to go with that 500/600 mm and don't have to change lenses frequently.

You also don't need the 20fps with that...

This article itself, and all the comments on top of it, are just ridiculous. I feel that DPReview started posting all these news from other sites knowing very well the type of arguments that will...

Hi. I don't have an answer to your question, but have a question myself. I think that the behavior that you are seeing is expected. Because this is not a Nikon lens with full electronics ...

LOL!

I don't have a dog yet but will put this on my shopping list for the future ;)

In both build quality and IQ, the newer Tamron lenses and Sigma Art lenses are up there with the big two camera makers' best lenses.

The only issue seems to be the constant need for firmware...

I get your general sentiment, but why do you say $5,800?
The announcement above says that this lens is EUR 1,999 or $2,228.

I agree. I would vote for a 14-140 mm for APS-C cameras... about 21 to 210 mm FF FOV

OK. If I start seeing a ton of pet photos online, all with the same look - staring into the camera, I know why...
;)

Cool. The scene is just fascinating.

Sure. Photography was possible before any of today's zooms, art lenses, mega resolutions and the myriad of sensor formats. And before cameras, people actually painted the scenes or portraits with...

I get that this is not an Art lens for IQ, but it will have its uses for many who need that range.

I'd be curious to see how it compares to the recently announced Sigma 100-400.

If the images in...

I'll be in Toronto for a family event on the 8th. I will stop by at Niagara most likely on the 7th, or possibly 6th. Have fun with your trip. Hoping to see some good photos from you.

I am actually going to Toronto for an event, via Niagara. I might stop by on both sides, depending on the timing. I haven't planned out in detail for Niagara visit but will do what's possible. All ...

Nice shot. That look says, "are you done with your camera? can we go for a walk now?" :)

That is correct. The camera first sets aperture as low as it can go (F/11 on FZ2500) and activates the ND filter is the scene is still too bright. Between F/8 and F/11 I don't know if the camera ...

That scene screams, "Happy!" Nice shot.
