Haha, thanks Rodger. You'll be seeing more of that white stuff in subsequent posts of mine because it's starting to look like a "Winter Wonderland" here.
Also, welcome to the RX10Miv club, looking forward to your posts.

AnayvI believe, like i.zoom that CIZ is the reason for what I see.There are probably two possibilities. Yes, I might have had the CIZ turned on for these and secondly I added a little sharpening from FastStone.Really nice captures, Jerry. Good compositions.The birds were very camera shy today. I was only able to catch a couple.

Question, when zoomed in I see artifacts, not that unlike i.zoom
Was Clearview zoom (or whatever it's called ) used? I believe its a form of digital zoom.
All of these images have these artifacts. Or perhaps these were all cropped quite a bit?
Not wanting to be picky, but i have a bad habit of zooming in to see the feather detail in just about every bird shot i see.
Doesn't take away from you or the really nice images, but I mention it, since i see it, and wish I didn't...just like some of my images.
When I under expose the FZ80 to get faster shutter speeds....often the noise creeps in..I can't help but see it ...and I don't like it.
Having the D3400 with it's excellent 24MP APS-C sensor doesn't help, as that can shoot at ISO 3200 and have less artifacts than my FZ80 at 800
But I won't use my FZ80 at ISO 800...too noisy.
Help

Always click ORIGINAL SIZE Jerry. Yes, otherwise DPreview does something when images are posted here.
Not the artifacts I am seeing. But could be the reason for the need to sharpen more in post.
They do..but are on the soft side. I see why you sharpened them.
Still...excellent captures, Jerry!
You are the third person I brought this up to...in the last few weeks or month.
I mean no harm...no finger pointing...just want to make aware what I see.
Thought I posted about using i.zoom a while back, but can't find the thread .
Think i will start a new thread , based on using i.zoom....EZ Zoo...digital zoom...and just optical zoom...maybe give samples of each, too.
I just to show using it, most times, it becomes a double edge sword. It allows for more reach, but at the cost of detail and artifacts.
Not sure about the Sony RX series, but with the Panasonic, they give you a warning, before you go past optical zoom, into i.zoom (same for digital zoom). Nikon does something similar. Forgot if Canon does.
Funny, how they don't show the bar on top, when you use EX or EZ Zoom. No need for a warning to let the user know I.Q. might take a hit ?
Really Panasonic?
Oh....perhaps because EX (EZ ) Zoom feature doesn't deteriorate the I.Q. like the other ways to get more reach does.
I see. that's why I promote not using i.zoom...but instead to try and use EZ Zoom.
Always welcome Jerry. Hope i didn't offend...i didn't mean to.
ANAYV
Again, nice shots and good poses, Jerry!
ANAYV
You absolutely did not offend me. I welcome any and all criticism. I find it to be a very helpful learning tool
I appreciate your taking the time to comment and welcome your suggestions.
Same with Bassy. Feel free to add your comments also.
All this help can aid me in becoming a better photographer. I have a long way to go.
Thanks guys.

Blue tit feeding on walnut leftovers
This woodpecker stocked feeding place is a gold mine. It's somewhat sobering that after a 600mm range and a 1.7x converter (so 1020mm?) and a 12MP shoot, the crop leaves me with 1.2MP. But at least it is obvious that it is somewhat windy.
i am going to have a month off from posting and replying on this forum,
i hope adam T is still around and doing fine he was a great help to everyone
in fact i still have a canon tele converter that i bought from him
thinking about it maybe i will try this converter on the canon sx70 next week
take a few shots and see ,,and i can see a lot on my mac computer

Great image considering the focal length. Its handy to have a great spot like that. I wish there was something like that here.
Glad to hear this Jerry. Not everyone receives CC the same, I found out.
Folk like you and Rodger remind me why i love this forum!
I'm keeping my FZ80, just so i can stay here
We all have a long way to go, Jerry.
Time, patience, practice...sometimes we get lucky, too!
I do ..many times
Ever learning...

Thanks Didier. I do like the defocused snowflakes but if I get a chance for a shot like this again I may go for a higher SS and more DOF to capture some snowflakes in focus.
Wish you well, bassy...relax..refresh...enjoy the Holiday (if you celebrate ) ..but make sure you come back.
Yes, hope he is well. I forgot you've been around here a long time, bassy.
Cool.
Let us know what you think of the SX70.
I have a feeling the results are going to be similar as the FZ80;
Good features, control and speedy operation (though AF ..we'll see).
Good ergonomics, good lens range...perhaps even a good lens.
But I think it will fail in I.Q.....mainly due to the new 20MP sensor.
Those who experienced the SX50 and it's excellent 12MP 1/2.3" sensor..will wish Canon had put that sensor inside the SX70.
Just my thoughts
