Nice sparrow. I took the liberty of lightening the body and eye. Gotta love that FZ300. I even get decent pics with iZoom - sometimes. "Gear is great, but vision is better." David du Chemin

Thanks to the hawk this foray for birding really helped get me motivated again. I had just returned from a week long family trip and although I took two cameras I never took a shot the whole week. ...

Well, almost anyway. Was looking up in the canopy for birds when this hawk caught my eye about four feet away. It was on the ground busily munching something when I happened upon it. It casually ...

I think we can safely say that the SX70 HS will have RAW capture. In its news release on the SX70 HS, DPReview stated, "The Digic 8 also brings along support for Canon's CR3 Raw format, which has ...

FWIW the B&H website says, "Expected availability: Dec 3, 2018."
