Your post made me pay more attention to my technique. I didn't realize I always let my elbows flap out to the side rather than tucking them in! I've generally been trying to stay at 1/200 sec or ...

Thanks. Those more recent photos are exceptions though. With male cardinals, more so than any other bird, I find that this camera almost always misses the focus. I may be expecting too much ...

Thanks for all the feedback. I reviewed all of my best shots (link) with this camera. I think that usually when I am fully zoomed in and satisfied with the results, a shutter speed of 1/200 sec or ...

I see what you're saying. Here are the originals.

I thought it would post the EXIF info. Both shots were with my Canon SX 70. Picture 1: 247 mm, f 6.5, 1/160 Picture 2: 247 mm, f 6.5, 1/125 I guess those are slow shutter speeds but the birds did ...

I struggle to get tack sharp male cardinal pictures. Can you tell what the issue is in these pictures? I'm not sure if it was too slow a shutter speed, or missed focus (on tree branches?), or ...

Thanks. I am thinking about upgrading from the XS to the 12 Pro. One more question: if you edit the raw (DNG) file in a 3rd party program like Lightroom, does it maintain all the computational ...

Is it possible to shoot RAW plus JPEG (or at least, RAW plus HEIC)? Or do you have to pick either raw or processed images?

Can you shoot raw+jpeg?

My only experiences with viewfinders are with small, entry-level cameras (Canon SL1, SL2, and SX 70). I wish I had a brighter, larger, more detailed view. I also wish the SL2 would show grid ...

Interesting. I just assumed it related to the SX70 having a much smaller sensor but I see that is wrong. I definitely prefer the look you get from an odd number of blades.

Thanks. I ordered a filter and will give it a try!

I've tried many times to get a starburst effect with the SX 70 by going to the smallest aperture (f 8.0). I like it but it does not have as many thin lines as I get with my SL2. Is it possible to ...
