IMHO the bitter truth is we don't have a dedicated birding cam amongst the fixed lens cams yet. Some partial attempts in the right directions but nothing sound. Provided the RX10IV fulfills the ...

You are obviously not someone who's main interest is birds (a birder). -Otherwise you would know that shooting birds the size of Sparrows, Warblers and Tits at a distance of 10-15 meters is extreme ...

If you look at the original thread where you posted this pic you will find a reply from me close to the end. The reply is from then, not now! Read my reply and you will find that I was comfortable ...

Sure, -but atmospheric distortions are not amongst potential pitfalls when shooting birds 10-15meters away, are they? I would  suggest the  percentage of shots being undoable due to atmospheric ...

There will be many birding afficinados who will be disappointed/upset when they realize the real ability/inability of this cam to get them close to the subject. And it is especially the wonderful ...

Correct. That's what makes a good bird photographer , -not a good birding cam !

I'm by no means doubting that the RX10iii can be used for wonderful bird shots. The pics shown above would proof me wrong as much as possible as they are outright brilliant. However it does of ...

Don't get me wrong here either... I'm with you on everything you've said... it's only I think you were very much right to set the miles under apostrophes because all the small birds here are well ...

At about 1800mm equiv FOV you will be down to 2.2mp ore 100% magnification on a fhd monitor. You decide. For me, no thanks. K.

To double the FL you have to half height and width of the pic... hence you get a pic 1/4 of the original (5mp) To triple the FL to 1800mm you have to divide by 9 (1/3 0f width, 1/3 of height) which ...

Wow! Thanks! That's some serious info on the topic! I've found the charts and had some quick read here and there. I like his comment at the end where he says: "If you have read all this you will ...

Thanks for this very useful list Malcolm! I see privateman has it no longer online. Do you have it saved only this small ore could you upload a bigger version? -That would be extremely helpful as I ...

Editing is right below this box here under "more options" but it is only possible as long as no one has replied to that post yet. K.

Sorry, but I fail to understand: Do you say that an 18mp crop (equalling 600mm FOV on the 400mm lens) from your 42mp full frame A7RII at f5.6 will be outperformed by a 12mp pic from the FZ300's ...

Then go for it! Years ahead you will " have a water, please" just to remind yourself what a golden decision it was! I spent four years in East Africa. Travelled Serengeti, Massai Mara, Murchison, ...

Could you do us a favour? -Please knock next door and ask uncle Karl what's going on here! Thanks! K.

...Donald has made his first good deal ! Seriously tho... it's even more interesting when considering the increased value of the Euro to the Yen which has risen by 20% (!) within one year. One ...

Rodger, -I am aware of all the goodies I could get from other cams. My ranting here was really only about one thing: REACH and the lack of advancement in this area within the compact camera sector. ...

Very nice work on #2 and #3! Especially like the Yellow Rumped Warbler. #1, while being a nice shot too, is one of those shots I have cursed this cam for! -You may have noticed the peak of ...
