Congrats Igor.
I didn't know that the Nex7 was able to give such results.
It's hard to think that it is ending its commercial life...
Apart this great combo, what do you use for wildlife photography ?
PS :
Monthy Python question : is it a european or asian swallow ?

Hi Olivier,
thanks much for your comment.
NEX-7 is my #1 camera for MF bird shooting, it's very light, yet very powerful, especially in burst shooting.
In AF department I shoot with 3 systems: Nikon, Canon and Sony.
The most used lenses are
Nikon: AF-I 300/2.8, AF-S 300/4
Canon: EF 400/4L DO, 300/2.8L, 300/4L IS
Sony/Minolta: 300/2.8 APO, 400/4.5 APO
This is the European Barn Swallow. |

yes, Barn Swallows are "easy targets", they are very tame and allow close approach, that's why I call it "just a snap" |

Thanks much! glad you enjoyed the shots.
I guess the NEX-7 uses the same sensor technology as many regular DSLR's, so I see no real diff in IQ . |
