This Green Woodpecker was 20 metres away and these were taken at full zoom…

If you can attach the camera to a tripod for stability or as I did for these next two images rested the camera on something sturdy, the quality and sharpness of the image is quite remarkable.

It also allows for more Macro capability, handy if you like taking images of insects and plants, I find the colours in this shot of Bougainvillea spot on. Always useful, adding context in a group of images and at no zoom, the 16MP CMOS image sensor gives great colour capture and detail. One thing I do miss when I am out with my present kit is the ability to take everyday ‘normal’ scenery. The first and possibly the biggest difference I noticed immediately is the weight - almost nothing! Easily thrown over the shoulder or as I found out it even fits in the pocket of my birding jacket, very handy although it does take a few seconds to prize it out! Here’s a selection of images to try and demonstrate the flexibility and usability of this rather nice camera. The image quality is greatly assisted by the inbuilt 5.0 stop Dual Detect Optical Vibration reduction which allows users like me to just point and press and still end up with some decent images. Here he is at full zoom, once again just handheld.īlimey! Very impressed already, especially so as these were my first images taken with the camera. Here is Bob - look closely on the roof, our semi-resident (disappears in March and returns in September) Black Headed Gull often to be found around the house and garden waiting to be fed… You can even see the feathering on the bill! I was immediately amazed! The image below was taken at full zoom, handheld. … a couple of seconds later a Carrion Crow landed in the top of that conifer, an ideal opportunity to test the zoom. See the conifer tree mid-right of the image? Of course, the first thing I wanted to check out was just how good the very impressive 83x magnification performs, apparently giving a total of 2000mm telephoto zoom - four times my present set-up! … Here’s the first image I took - the view from the house, nice enough and without any zoom, great detail capture and colour. You can imagine my excitement on taking delivery of a Nikon Coolpix P900 - one of these new legendary devices thanks to those kind folk at Clifton Cameras. However, something that really has caught my attention recently are some really excellent images I have seen online taken with something new and seemingly revolutionary, the ‘Super-Zoom’ digital camera!īeing a mostly ‘on foot' birder with a rather heavy and cumbersome Canon 7D camera (this camera is now discontinued, see current Canon DSLR cameras here) and Canon EF 400mm (this lens is discontinued and is replaced by the Canon EF 400mm f4 DO IS II USM lens) lens (and rapidly ageing back and shoulders) the ease of these new compact cameras has become an increasingly attractive prospect. Bird photography is constantly changing and evolving, so fast sometimes it’s difficult to keep up with all the latest developments.
