Out with the OM10 in with the Sony DSC-HX400V (1 Viewer)

[LittleBitOfBreadNoCheese]

I used to do bird photography with a manual OM10 and 500mm mirror lens. Yesterday I grabbed a new Sony DSC-HX400V and this is my first go at a handheld point and click close up bird shot (its a bit blurred still probably as the bird started walking just at the wrong time). Auto everything. It's probably no worse than my first go with the old setup. I'd be interested in any comments.

Late reply, hope it still relevant and help in some way.

I started with this camera HX400V. It can capture good quality image provided (1) Good Light, (2) Subject not too far distance. It is very small sensor (1/2.3").

Based on your photo, I believe the blur could cause by low shutter speed 1/80s. Try use Shutter Priority Mode starting at least 1/320s for handheld.
