I should be getting one tomorrow and just wondered if anyone had suggestions for accessories that will be useful for shooting birds?
Thanks!
Thanks!
I should be getting one tomorrow ...........
I just did some comparisons with the Nikon P500. What surprised me was the difference in magnifications compared to the specs. I did the test twice.
The Nikon looks like 840 mm and the Canon 810 mm. What's going on?

All Features are fine in it's class, just lack GPS and Raw Format,
and the overall picture results are still a little bit soft.
I havent used the tripod with the SX40HS. The image stabilizing is so good. I've even been shooting hd video at full zoom.Maybe a stupid question........but looking at the pictures of Neil, I woult like to ask a question:
Are there pictures made with the 100-400L and SX40 and compared with each other?
Reason for the question is: I have the 100-400, but must admit that these pictures Neil made are brilliant! If I did not know, i would say they were made with some "L" lense.
I have got the 100-400L and enjoy it, but looking at these pictures I think it would be not a bad idea to sell it and get a SX40.(Photography is only a hobby for me, but i want good pictures.)
Neil, can you tell me, are these pictures of the birds(special the sparrow) made with the camera on a tri-pod?
thanks so far

I read somewhere that the SX40 boasts even better IS than the SX30. That's kind of amazing because the IS on the 30 is already so good.
If anybody has any images of birds taken in the field with this camera i would love to see them:t:
Hi Dave
There are some I have taken, all hand held, on autofocus (still getting to grips with manual), on this thread:-

To be fair to the camera, I am a complete beginner when it comes to photographing birds. I am very pleased with the result so far but have lots to learn.
Cheers
