This morning I had a brief first try at getting wildlife photos with this $300ish camera. Both are handheld at 960mm equivalent. I'm really impressed with the reach and image stability of this pocket camera. Bald eagle was probably about 400'? away and photo below is a heavy crop. Duck was much closer and small crop on photo.

Bald eagle was shot wide open for that focal length while duck was stopped down to f/8. Only had about 20 min of good light so next time I want to see if Bird in flight photos can be taken with this camera (might be wishful thinking ha ha).
