Flower Pecker taken with A77 - some cropping done.

A77 and 70-300G at MFD, cropped at close to 100% . . .

Doubt that Canikon has any 300mm that resolve like this at close range. I know for sure that the 70-300 VR, the 300mm f/4 AF, and the 300mm f/4 AF-S can't.

really nice shot there. looking at the mtf charts, the 70-300vr is on par with the G lens and have the same 1:4 magnification. i think what you were missing back you had the d700 was the 12mp resolution.. now with the d800/E, you will have even higher croppability esp for macro works

The D700 surely lacks the detail of some of the newer bodies.

I also shot the 70-300 VR on a 12-mp crop sensor body, and--trust me--my copy was nowhere near as good as the 70-300G, neither in sharpness nor contrast. In fact, at f/5.6 and f/8 the 70-300G outresolves even the 300mm f/4 AF-S, both on the charts and in the real world.

Yup, the D800 would be a great option; but the a77's crop sensor extrapolated to FF would be around 56 MP! As long as I have some good glass out front I'll shoot through the middle of it all day long!

the main problem lies with the sensor resolution, check this two reviews out, you will see the numbers jump with the same lens.

Nikkor AF-S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G IF-ED VR - Review / Lab Test Report - Analysis

Nikkor AF-S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR (FX) - Review / Test Report - Analysis

MP plays a big role in that so comparing 24mp vs 12mp is definitely not a fair comparison

Speaking of croppability . . . a77 and Tamron 60mm f/2 . . .

Cropped at 50% . . . hope it will display proportionately here . . .

Looks like this little critter let his honey ferment a bit too much! ;p

Nope, displays too small . . . :bigeyes:

Woke up early today while sending my wifey to bus stop to work and saw this full moon still up thought i've missed it last night. A77 + Tamron SP 70-300 mm f/4-5.6 Di VC USD and used the A77 feature 2X Teleconverter and crop a little bit more so this was jpeg out of camera sharpen a bit and adjust contrast.... Photo taken around 6:30AM April 8th
