Now that I've had my 4500 repaired I've been taking it out to the local wetlands where waders can be up to 300 metres away. I had forgotten what a long reach this camera has (35 - 155 mm lens ). Of course the camera is a bit slow by today's standards but can produce good quality none-the-less.
I used it when the Nikon CP8400 ran out of reach (24 - 85 mm lens ).
The attached Snipe was taken at about 30 metres with the scope zoom racked up to 60x and camera zoomat 81 mm (4960 mm ). The Spotted Redshank was about 80 metres (5580 mm ) and the Black-headed Gull about 120 metres through haze (7380 mm ).
I'm taking it with me to Arizona tomorrow and will test it out in good , desert light. Neil
