My motivation was to try to increase the overall image quality by moving to a camera with a larger sensor, even at the expense of the excellent telephoto zoom range of the SX50.This morning was my first chance to give it a try, and while it is clear I have much to learn about finding the right settings - and indeed how to use the camera at all - I was delighted to nail a few decent shots.These are of course common parkland birds that allow close approach, so did not really test the full capabilities of the RX10iii, but they did provide an indication of the exciting potential of this new camera.CheersMike</blockquote>
