Originally posted by garyk GordonZA, sounds like you are in a great position to shoot wonderful bird pics. If you travel and write why do you stay with Pentax and why do you not like Sigma. Looks like you are missing a chance of a lifetime. For a piece of glass that is easily had elsewhere.
Just curious.
Simple, I LOVE Pentax!!
Tried Canon bodies and hated them. Nikon is pretty good but I just happen to love the Pentax bodies and glass... just wish that we had a super tele available new...
For the new camera, my wishlist:
1. Faster AF in continuous
2. High noise free ISO is very usefull
3. More FPS won't hurt those of us that use it... birds coming in to land, etc
4. Even quieter shutter... (try photographing an elephant right next to your hide, your shutter goes off and the elephant stops eating and looks at the hide... )
5. Higher MP is fine so long as there is no compromise to speed.
6. Larger buffer and faster write speeds, even a dual SD system with writing even numbered photos to one SD and odd numbered pics to the second SD...
7. A 500mm super tele to go with it.....
