Backyard Assortment from the SX50

Hi all,

Here's another assortment of recent backyard shots taken with the SX50.

White-breasted Nuthatch:

Wow, wow, wow! Saying that these are incredible is an understatement. Makes me wonder why I have a stable of expensive and heavy equipment. May I ask your proximity for some of these shots?

Absolutely magnificent shots. It is a fantastic camera.

You've done it again K&T, a great set.

You never disappoint! Love them all.

Thanks to all who commented,

Slice - Like all small-sensor cameras, the SX50 does best at base ISOs and modest distances. The shots in this set range from @12-30ft and were taken at or near maximum optical focal length (1200mm). This puts a lot of pixels on the birds and lets us capture good detail. Superzooms are light, inexpensive, and very capable under ideal conditions... but they are no match for DSLRs with quality gla$$ in more demanding situations.

Thanks again for looking everybody.

Wow, your camera takes good pictures!

But seriously, great technique on display here.

Wow these are all top notch Kenn.
