Re: Two Approaches to long bird shots
Thank you, Trev. I do not think that the difference in crop explains why image #1 is better than the other 3 shots with the SX60HS, cos there is hardly any difference... But wait, look at the EXIF data:
#1 162.5 mm, ISO 100, 1/250 s, f/8
#2 247 mm, ISO 160, 1/320 s, f/8
#3 247 mm, ISO 160, 1/250 s, f/8
#4 247 mm, ISO 160, 1/250 s, f/8
#1 was shot at a lower ISO and a shorter focal length.
I found this shot of a heron I took with a bridge camera a couple of years ago (Fujifilm X-S1, 624 mm eq, ISO 320, 1/250 s, f/6.4):

Re: Two Approaches to long bird shots
I am glad you have resolved your question Dem.
SO... value for money, especially if someone is not experienced or rich, which configuration would recommend to them?

Re: Two Approaches to long bird shots
One bit of advice for bridge camera shooters (and P&S) is to avoid blowing highlights, the quickest way to lose fine detail is to over expose - those little photocells very easily overflow in to the surrounding ones.
I know that risks losing shadow detail, due to same tiny pixel's reduced dynamic range compared to larger sensor cameras, but I found it was worth it.

Re: Two Approaches to long bird shots
I usually under-expose by 1/3 a stop under that same principle.
