    Looking for a good birdfeeder for sunflower seeds

    Thank you for your help. I don't think we have gray squirrels at all (we are in North Central Texas). We have a lot of wildlife but only occasionally see squirrels (they are brown). I don't know if they will be a problem or not. My son became very interested in birding last fall and has...

    Looking for a good birdfeeder for sunflower seeds

    I'm not sure about why he wants those seeds. He is the birder and just told me he wanted a feeder for those. We live in the country and have a lot of land, not concerned a bit about the mess but is it as economical to buy the hearts instead? Do they need a different type of feeder or will the...

    Looking for a good birdfeeder for sunflower seeds

    My son would like a good bird feeder to put out black sunflower seeds. We are looking for something not too expensive, if possible, but would like it to be reasonably easy to clean. Also, we wondered about rain and the seeds getting wet? Here are 2 I am considering (we welcome other...

    Nikon P900 - turning off automatic EVF

    Ok. I found the setting. I swear it wasn't there yesterday. There was something that said AV/TV toggle off or toggle on. I don't know what that was and it didn't do anything that I could figure out. Now I can't find that setting but the EVF toggle is there. Both were under the wrench on the...

    Nikon P900 - turning off automatic EVF

    I am wanting the EVF to stay off. We were taking some pics with the camera set on a table and the table was triggering the EVF but we needed the LCD. I tried that button but the LCD still went off and the EVF. I don't want the auto feature to work. Does that make sense?

    Nikon P900 - turning off automatic EVF

    I cannot find anywhere to turn off the EVF from automatically switching from LCD to EVF. I found several people saying that it has a way to turn it off but no one saying where to turn it off. I can't seem to find a way in the settings. Is there a way and if so can some one tell me how? TY!

    bird seed

    We live in a very remote area and see a lot of varieties of birds. We have red robins, cardinals, cedar waxwings, kinglets, woodpeckers, sparrows, eastern phoebes, juncos, hummingbirds, eastern/western meadowlarks to name a few. We have just started trying to identify birds. We purchased a...

    p900

    I have a desktop and I did figure out a way to use the wifi but you are right it is slow. I would like to find a better app than the one Nikon gives for the phone. It is horrible.

    P900 - phone app

    I found the Cannon Camera Connect? Is this the app? If so what camera selection did you make since it isn't for Nikon P900?

    P900 - phone app

    What is camera connect? I was thinking it was awful. I was so disappointed I was thinking about taking the camera back for one with a better app (maybe the B700, if I could find a new one).

    P900 - phone app

    I have the phone app for the p900 installed on my android and I figured out how to download multiple images. But I can't seem to find a way to download them full quality without the download being downsized. Is there a way? I want the original file on my phone. TY

    p900

    Is there a way to transfer pictures from the P900 to a windows desktop via wifi? I downloaded the Nikon app for my phone to transfer to my phone. Does it have a way to download more than one picture at a time? I couldn't find it if it does. Or is there another app for android that will? TY...

    p900 - transfering images to pc by wifi

    So, I picked up my new Nikon P900. So excited! I was wondering what the best was to transfer pics via wifi to my computer was? I found the opensource software called airnef. Is this a good option? Or what do you guys recommend? Also, I installed the app from Nikon to my phone and I can see...

    Help me pick out a camera

    I think I will go look at the Nikon p900 and b700 and see if one of those isn't a good choice for me. As my first real camera and my first real attempts at photographing birds my expectations are not super high and I feel certain either of these will make me feel like a great photographer for...

    Help me pick out a camera

    Ok...we live in a very remote area and much of our bird photographing will be of birds not used to people. We've already discovered that problem! I guess I will learn to deal with the lighting at least at this point as I can't find any real options of a 1" sensor in my budget right now. I...

    Bridge camera - general question

    So what focal lengths are typically fine handheld? What zoom/mm is where is starts to typically be a problem without a tripod (assuming a decent image stabilization system)

    Nikon p900 images.

    TY...I won't probably use any amount of zoom that requires a tripod so I didn't want to carry around a larger camera than I would get benefit from. It is good to hear that the image stabilization allows you to take so many good pics, handheld!

    Help me pick out a camera

    Thank you for all your responses (on the other threads, too). I am to the point of frustration I have read so much. I understand the difference in the sensor sizes. I'm trying to decide between the trade off of small sensor/longer zoom or larger sensor/less zoom. In photographing birds which...

    Are these pics taken using a tripod? I'm curious what kind of pics you can get handheld?

    Bridge camera - general question

    I've been reading alot of threads here about using various bridge cameras (the Nikon P900 and others) and seeing pics that people have taken with them. What I don't know is if most of the shots are using a tripod or if you can get these great shots handheld? I'm looking for something that I...

    Help me pick out a camera

    I'm new to the bird watching hobby and finally purchased a decent pair of binoculars (Monarch 5, 10x42, yea!) and now would like to purchase a camera. I have done some research and am hoping you guys can point me in the right direction. I want a camera that will take decent pictures of birds...
