In that case the inbuilt ND filter should be useful. I've gone from a 1/3.2 sensor to a 1'' system (Nikon V2 + CX 70-300) and don't regret it. The reach of a superzoom is useful for static birds. Overall a 1'' sensor offers more possibilities, for superb photos you'll have to be close to the bird anyway. "Successful shooting above 500mm" is a non-issue imo. Recent models all have fine stabilization. At 8 frames per second or more, shooting in bursts rarely fails to get the shot.</blockquote>
