There have been many images posted taken with this lens. Shouldn't be any issues as long as your technique is proper. Not to say the focus may not need adjusted, but proper technique is paramount...

In the 400 to 550mm range that combination is about as sharp as anything available in a zoom lens. And everything that is sharper is significantly more expensive and heavier.

And that's the truth...

The combo is FULLY capable. Question is......are you?
Long lenses take good technique and tuning to produce good results, your camera will not allow for AF Fine tuning if it is needed. But you can send your body and lens directly to Tamron and they will tune your lens to your camera for free if it is in need of such tuning.

Thank you all for the responses I am going to a Tamron work shop tomorrow with a Tamron tech. Diane

Like MT alluded to, it might be a good idea to bone up on what AF fine tuning is by doing a search here at the Hog. There are some good resources. A chart I use is at this website:

It has helped me get my D7200 and lenses right on the money. Good luck.

I think it depends on the distance you are shooting from, and the lighing. Most people would want this lens for birds or wildlife. If you are shooting a bird from 15 ft. away, then a hundred dollar used bridge camera with a 720mm equiv lens will give you a very sharp picture. Shoot the same bird at 100 ft. with the 150-600 lens on the D3300 (maximum zoom is 35 mm equivlent 900mm) and crop it to highlight just the bird and I think it would be less sharp than the 15 ft. shot on the bridge camera. Lighing is just as imposrtant. Bright sunlight at your back give the sharpest pics. Sun at the subject's back will turn the colors dark. If you log onto flickr and look at the tamron 150-600 Nikon mount pool, you will see what this lens can and cannot do.
