Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I just wanted to thank Chris and Bryan for their help, it was greatly appreciated.

I went and checked all the local shops and could not find the camera or lens that I was looking for. All the stores around here are Nikon and Canon dealers.

I went with Chris's suggestion and ordered the Sony A700 and the Sigma 17-70 lens. They should be here Tuesday.

Thanks again, Dave

but I may be a little biased! LOL

I've shot about 5000 shots with mine so far, in all sorts of conditions and you would think there might be some sort of little issue that I could warn you about.....but there isn't. It really is the best DSLR I've owned (4th) or used, and I've used a lot of others.

It is very responsive, focuses faster and more accurately than many others out the LCD on the back is amazing.

If I lost my gear somehow and I won the lottery and had unlimited financial resources, I would buy another Alpha 700 rather than any of the highest end pro-level cameras.
