Testing the 350D with the Sigma 300-800 DG at Subic rainforest

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

Went to Subic Bay rainforest this weekend to test my new 350D XT with the Sigmonster. The new version of the Rebel is almost as responsive as the 20D, delivering crisp images even at 1600 mm (with a Sigma 2x TC). A couple of photo-lifers (Dollar Bird and White-Bellied Woodpecker) capped this birding trip.
I was shooting Blue-throated Bee-eaters by the roadside at Subic, while fellow bird photographer Nilo Arribas was also shooting the shooter candidly.

 Ekimzulad, a fellow DPR member from the US, had fun shooting the Subic rainforest birds with his 20D and 400 5.6L.
