Here's hoping that there will be an improvement to AF speed with the SDM lenses.

Though probably not.

Apart from that it sounds great.

Depends what lens you use on it.

I have found that it is quite sluggish in general with the subject coming towards you. If you are using the DA*60-250 then you will get more shots when manually focusing on fast moving objects than using AF. This is especially the case when the object is moving towards you.

I put these both up for the PPG site the other week. 2nd one has been declined, first one is still awaiting the decision. Though I'm not holding my breath.

Thanks guys I've got a few more that I was also happy with yesterday. Maybe even one that is possibly better than this. I'm undecided.

Thanks for your comments.

Re the lens. It was the "Bigma" Sigma 170-500 f4.5-6.7 A pretty good lens for birding in decent light. Next challenge I think is to get a good shot of a duck coming into land straight on towards me.

I must admit I'm pretty happy with this one. The photo is uncropped with minimal tweaking made.

What do you guys think?

I think the way to go is the eye-fi cards.

Haven't tried them myself though.

Does the in camera noise reduction effect RAW files?

I thought it was just Jpegs that had any NR on them.

I'm sorry to disagree, but I have the K10d & now the K7. The K7 is far less noisy in my experience.
