So my "straight-off-the-camera" shots are just "meh" because I shoot with post-processing in mind.I do not have the liberty of "getting closer" due to the restrictions of the nature areas available to me, so "range is everything" on most days out.I hand-hold 99% of the time, even at max optical zoom and digital teledapter distances. I have captured BiF at long ranges (out past 80m). Biggest drawback is the slow zoom speeds and slow first shot...means I get too much "bird butt" a good chunk of the time.</blockquote>
