Yesterday, my former assistant and now wildly successful wedding and portrait shooter came for a visit yesterday ... arriving in his new Porche that he paid cash for (glad someone is making some money:thumbs
He wanted to see the A900 ... and handle it a bit. He wondered how effective the SSS in-camera stabilizer worked. Well, I bolted on the Sony 500/8 Mirror and shot a plant across the room hand-held ... a totally unremarkable photograph that demonstrates how remarkable this feature works ... frankly, I was even surprised.
A900 @ ISO 2000, 500 mirror fixed f/8 ... at ... get this ... 1/20th shutter! I mean come on ... 500mm @ 1/20th? And we just finished our 2nd double strong coffee :ROTFL:
(also goes to show you that it's best to avoid specular highlights in the OOF areas unless you like donuts.)
The flower pic was done with the 500 AF mirror also.
