Well, there is a thread specific for Wildlife, so I thought I'd make with a general one.
Just got a Sony a68 and OMG is that thing impressive for a less than $600 chassis. No WIFI or NFT, but I feel like I'm cheating using this thing. I tested it out, and was quite disappointed to find out that it doesn't have a remote shutter input like my previous Sony Alpha. So I was stuck with a max 30 second shutter time, unless I get a couple cables for field use. Turns out, 30 seconds was probably the right exposure. Only modification was resizing it for sharing here. Serious focus issues here, mainly because everything is generally in motion due to the train or wind. I thought it was absurd that it can focus with an ND10 filter on it.
