Hi
Went to SBWR to do some testing.. The shots here are test shots
and not meant to be any nature photo potrait.
All photos were taken at ISO 400 unless otherwise stated.
ISO 800 should only be used in desperation. All shots were
taken in RAW and a shutter speed above 1/300. Aperature
was set by the camera.
There is a limit to the quality of the photos it seems.. all
photos have to be reduced by 30% to produce acceptable
quality.. I could be doing something wrong but I dont think
so. The 'stains' on the CCD showed up on one of the photos.
The 2X crop factor was not too helpful as photos taken at
full 200MM zoom has a limit, I think you need to limit the
subject to fill 1/2 your viewfinder before it can yield anything useful.
All photos had to be reduced 30% . USM and cropped to Clubsnap size
before being posted. Full 200MM zoom.

Painted Stork at ISO800 - not very good
