[QUOTE="Stoshowicz, post: 466655, member: 31397"] Thanks, , when you get the time , are out and about shooting and its no headache. Ill look forward to seeing this, I know when I got my canon Sx , that I was all impressed by the magnification ,It helps cure a host of ills as long as the sensor is up to snuff. I can ID a bird heck ! a quarter mile off sometimes! but in the application, to get pictures of nice smoothness and feather detail ,,that was another thing altogether. I had to sacrifice the raw files for the full zoom , I had much more chromatic aberration and the dynamic range dropped a lot. The keyhole viewfinder and the electronic lag really is difficult for birds in flight or even just jumping around in bushes. I think you have to be even [U]more[/U] savvy to shoot well with the bridge cameras , but they are less heavy, less bulky, less expensive ,apply over a broader range of magnifications ,have greater depth of field, heck I think the d900 even has wifi, and shoots more frames in that first second than my 7100. But but but , with the 7100 plus tamzooka, I can zoom to 600mm without losing anything , It is not visibly softer IMO , then with the crop sensor Im up to 900mm 'equivalent' and I can crop in down to about a third of that. Comparing the ISO performance of sensors of strongly differing sizes and efficiencies, is [B]not[/B] an equal comparison. The arrays fill sooner on the smaller sensor and one applies less ISO amplification , [U]for a given amount of incoming light [/U], (which would be a good thing , except the obscuring visibility of noise goes up and the dynamic range goes down). One has to compare pics between bridge cameras vs DX or FX cameras on a much [U]broader basis[/U] which encompasses all the compensations and adjustments of actual use. Hence,, I created that 'one dollar challenge' :) [/QUOTE]
