[QUOTE="Elliot87, post: 462964, member: 25183"] I used a canon with that feature to press a button to zoom out to find the subject, it was very handy. My problem is I need something longer than my 70-300mm but my main option for the D7100 are going to take some time to save for. Last night I went to see some short eared owls with a friend but they never came close enough for me and my 70-300mm. This is my best shot sooc taken at 250mm (where the lens is sharper) in 1.3X crop mode so I think that works out at an effective focal length of 500mm and 15.6mp image with the D7100, correct me if I'm wrong. [ATTACH type="full"]162971._xfImport[/ATTACH] This is a cropped and slightly edited version from the same series. I think this works out at about 2.8mp. [ATTACH type="full"]162973._xfImport[/ATTACH] I assume that under the same conditions, static bird and using car as a support (light wasn't that good but ok), I would have been able to get a much better result using either of the bridge cameras you have been using? I struggle to envision the size of the owl in the frame at 1200mm but it must be quite a lot bigger whilst retaining the full 16mp of the sensor. If I can spend £200-300 and get decent images that are out of my current reach, that might help my patience saving for a 300m prime or similar. I'd probably carry both the bridge and D7100 so when things are close I can still take advantage the superior D7100. Sorry for rambling :) [/QUOTE]
