Hi Siberian, the flight pictures are great. What settings are you using? I have been playing with the A/S/P modes and also messing with NR , SAT and Contrast. IF you +1 the Sharp I have been told it is good for bird feathers.
Nice photos Tom.
I bought the FX18 + TCON 1.7 last week. It's a really good camera and ideal to carry around when birding. OK, it's not as good as a DSLR, but it's cheaper and weighs alot less. The photos below are cropped quite a bit, but they're good enough for me. Actually, I would not of got any of these by my usual digiscoping method.

Very nice photos Brian. I'm very interested in getting one of these cameras. Have you done anything else to these pictures, other than crop them?
I just used the software that came with the camera. It's pretty basic compared to Photoshop, but enough for what I need. So first I cropped, then auto enhance if it makes it look better. I did download Neat Image, but it didn't seem to make any difference, probably because I don't know what I'm doing!

Brian and Jim (very nice shots, by the way), I assume both your pictures are taken at the upper end of the zoom range. If so, how do you find it performs in lower light? Does noise become a problem, and at what ISO number is it bearable?
