Which camera for birding? (1 Viewer)

Not to talk much. Any camera, compact or bridge, with a small sensor and sufficient zoom is ok.
What you need is an AI engine, like Topaz Photo AI, for example. So don't ask me which camera I used to take pictures of these birds.
With AI machines, even with those "on line" even heavy crops are no longer a problem.

Hi, welcome to the forum on behalf of the staff and moderators. I think you will find us a friendly and helpful group. I’m not sure what you are asking, are you looking for a different camera than the one that took these pictures? Also, just my opinion, but I don’t like using AI to enhance/change my bird photos.

AI is a pattern recognition device. It fills in whatever its data says is most likely to go somewhere. It has its uses, but using it for photos that are meant to be of real things isn't a good idea. It can't show you what's there, it can only guess, and sometimes those guesses will be wrong.

Thank You for welcoming!
I am not asking anything. Just say that, with the moderate help of AI, any small sensor will make good picture.
If i did not mention AI, would You know that i used it for images above?
It all depends on one's taste.

My English is not that good hence question.
What do You mean by "real thing"?

An object that exists in the real world. As opposed to something that only exists on the computer, like if I used a painting program or an AI generation program to make a picture of a bird.

If I take a blurry photograph of a real bird and have an AI "fix" it, the AI has to guess at what the blurry parts should look like. It can't actually make the photo better and show me any fine details that the photo lacks, it just draws something on top. It's not a substitute for getting good photos in the first place. The same thing applies to zooming in and cropping.

Generally, people who like to photograph birds want their photos to be of /birds/, not of what an AI thinks a bird should look like.
