Surely the point about it is not so much the image quality but that it is small and light and you will have it with you most, if not all, times when birding and it's got that range.This is certainly the reason why I am considering it, and not the least for the fact that it has a burst mode of 3 fps.The lack of this on my Fuji S5700 had me tearing my hair out (what there is left of it)I agree with J Moore - there surely must be a way of getting the camera to shoot without flash in dark conditions. Check the manual again. On my Fuji it's just a matter of setting the flash to never fire under any conditions, then program mode will just give you a long exposure.I'd like to know how you get on with birdies on your patch.PS. Does it Beep on autofocus, can you suppress it?I can't turn it off on the Fuji and it annoys people in hides (it annoys me anyway)</blockquote>
