First it helped me to confirm my decision to buy an SX50, then I dialled in the settings that Crazyfingers has spent so much time working out and immediately started getting better shots (so a huge personal thank you there!), I dip in and out to compare how I'm doing to those who constantly publish top draw images, and most recently it's confirmed me in decision not to "upgrade" to a different super zoom, because it doesn't seem possible to get an upgrade for the purpose I use the SX50 for which is to supplement my reports on my hardcore patch birding plus the odd twitch and trip abroad with photos that help with ID, illustrating what I've seen, and nailing the odd rarity for which a written description has little to no chance of being accepted.I was thinking in another context about people who have made my year. Through the ability this thread has given to significantly enhance the enjoyment of my birding, there is no question that it scores in the top three for both of the past two years (and these have not been bad years by any stretch!), and probably  No.1 last year.So, many thanks to all those who have posted their hard-earned knowledge, their pictures and and opinions - and Merry Christmas!CheersMikePS I've posted a few pix from the last few months that are about as good as I've been getting, and I would welcome any thoughts on how to take the next step forward.</blockquote>
