    Looking for a good super zoom compact camera

    I reckon the only thing I do a bit different to some other people is wait. That Kestrel was in the trees but there was always the chance he'd land on the wall. Aiming up into the sky on a cloudy day is not going to produce much of a picture, and even on a sunny day there's a decent chance...

    'Absolutely right, MM, it's a learning process and a person has to go through that organic process for themselves and work it out from his/her experience. I'm similar in that incremental steps. I've stagnated for a while now but it's time to start researching and practicing again!

Aye, advanced photo editing skills should get you better results but when taking pictures from a distance and in low light, how retrievable is the picture going to be through photo editing? I reckon 'better' should be qualified given the picture is starting from a low base and...

    Looking for a good super zoom compact camera

    I disagree. When I first bought a camera I did a YT tutorial on the basics. Chris Bray was the tutor, an Australian who works for the National Geographic. I struck gold there by listening to him. He was keen to point out that all cameras are good cameras and don't get too carried away with the...

    Looking for a good super zoom compact camera

    They're all capable of 'performing in bad light'. It depends on how you use your camera. In the event you're going to stand a long distance from a bird and aim into dark woodland, then you'll have a problem with any camera, no matter how much you pay for it. I've seen a lot of pictures on a lot...
