    Nikon Announces the P1000 Superzoom 3000mm

    The 3000mm max zoom of the P1000 interests me for getting tighter shots of relatively close in smaller birds rather than using it for long range shots. The sharpness of images from the P900 at 2000mm are generally not that impressive at long range due to atmospheric conditions, so that will...

    Canon SX60HS in Action

    Both are nice photos. I like the detail shown in the wing of the Cormorant. Normally they look so plain. I am one who likes to see the original photo and the end result. It lets me know what the camera can do and what can be done with editing software. It will be interesting to see the...

    Binocular Recommendations

    I believe the "B" in the name of the new Swaro Companion means that the binocular is suitable for eyeglass wearers and does not represent a version number. It looks like Swarovski just changed the binocular and not the name as the prior version also had a "B" in the description. I can see...

    Absolute top 10x (under $3000)

    BC .... Would you please provide some detail explaining the problem with the eyecups. Thanks. I have a Zeiss SF in both the 8X and 10X along with a Conquest HD 10X42 that looks to share the same basic eyecup design with the SF. The only issue I have had is they have come loose on occasion...

    Nikon EDG creeping diopter - I think I know when it does!

    KF .... I attempted to duplicate the problem you described but I did not get any diopter creep. I used a Nikon 8X32 EDG-II and a Nikon 10X42 EDG-II. For both, I set the focus knob at the extreme position, checked the diopter setting, pointed them near vertical and then rotated the focus to...

    Sweet Water Wetlands Tucson, AZ- Hummingbird

    I struggle with some hummingbirds but will venture a guess at a female Anna's Hummingbird. I put this out here knowing it may be wrong in order for those more knowledgeable to point out what about this bird would eliminate it as a possibility and then I and maybe others can learn.
