An interesting email landed in my inbox the other day. A disclaimer first up, the email was sent from Sony PR, nothing unusual there, I have been getting loads of emails like this of late. Lets start out with one of the shots that was attached.

Quite a spectacular shot. What made me sit up and take more notice was when I viewed it at 100%. Check it out here for the full resolution shot. (You made need to click on it to see it full resolution). That is pretty impressive. It certainly got my attention, so I read the rest of the email. Gary has done a collection of high speed bird photographs, using the Sony a900, the rest you can see at http://www.garyheery.com/photographer/winged/ which is part of the Sony campaign make.believe. which launches this weekend.

Not knowing a real lot about the A900, I headed over to DPReview for a gander at their write up. It is certainly an interesting camera, and you cant argue with the results Heery is getting out of it.

For people who have a range of Minolta lenses, and are keen to jump into digital photography, this seems like a great camera to drag you into the digital age.
