Sorry Alan, never noticed this thread when you posted it. The crop is pretty impressive, not just for the camera but for the lens too. I don't think this would have been usable with a K-5, what do you think?

Yes it might have slightly less resolution, but would that have rendered it "unusable"?

But Smeggy, although I'm of the mind that more and more pixels and over-populated sensors are largely unnecessary and can even be detrimental in some circumstances, surely you must admit that, in this instance at least, the opportunity to crop so heavily means at least the subject is recognisable and some feather detail is observable.davidstorm wrote:

Below is a crop of a 6mp image, I know the 18-55 kit lens is not as good as Alan's DA 300. I don't have the original any more but from memory the crop is far less severe than that of the sedge warbler. It's maybe an acceptable image of a wheatear, but it's not good enough for an ornithologist.
Best wishes,
Andrew

Not one of my best but thought I'd share given it was a sizeable crop from the below
