Sony rumors...

[rongarrett]

As everyone prolly knows by now, the A300 and the A350 are about to be released. I have the A350 on order. It will be used for flower photography. It has been my experience that one cannot over megapixel flower images. Fine detail is what separates just good from awsome. The real live view will aid me greatly in this venue. Most flowers are closer to the ground than my 6' 3" eye level. Too old to bend over much, so the 350 will be welcomed.

It seems Sony has done, {rather handily I might add}, what the other two big guns have not been able to do. I predict Sony will shortly be a force to be reconed with. The hookup with Carl Zeiss was brilliant. I have never heard of a "bad" CZ lens.

I currently own Nikon, Canon, and Sony cameras. I have another Sony on order, which shows the way I am leaning. I have to find a way to budget for some more Zeiss glass......

Welcome to the site and thanks for sharing. I agree that Sony is quickly becoming a digital SLR power. If you haven't read it yet, check out my little Sony article from PMA: http://reviews.photographyreview.com...y-alpha-dslrs/

I hope you'll post reviews for all of your cameras and lenses. With the range of stuff you've used, your reviews will be especially valuable:

John, I'll be glad to post a review of the 350 after it gets here and I have a chance to use it some. The peach trees are beginning to bud out around here, spring won't be far off. I live only 20 miles from Callaway Gardens and plan an all day shoot there with the new camera. Lots of flowers available right here too. My neighbors like to grow flowers. A free image or two gets me invited to take all the pictures I want.

I have a "black thumb" everythuing dies I touch, so I just take the pictures. You have a nice site here. Everyone seems to have an open mind, which is conducive to learning. A thousand minds are always better than one. Looking forward to a lot of visits.

We've worked hard to make this a friendly site that's safe for all types of photographers to share and ask any question they want. I think we've done pretty well. Know-it-all types tend to move on or put up with a little abuse. And I think most of us are more into taking pictures than acquiring the latest and greatest. Although a new acquisition is always nice

If you haven't already, you should introduce yourself on the ViewFinder forum. That's sort of the community living room.
