I’m very new to photography and have a passion for wildlife. Having spent hours looking at camera comparisons your thoughts have convinced me that a bridge camera is just what I need.

Much incentive / inspiration for anyone with a P500 (like me) and interested in birding. Warblers are very difficult to ‘shhot’, even here in India (I’m in New Delhi), your results are incredible ! Well done, Steve !!

I primarily shoot birds, as well, and I love your photos! Could you please e-mail me with your e-mail address so that I can ask you a question about the camera? Thank you very much!

I’m impressed by the quality I get even when it’s cranked all the way out. I may get out the digiscoping gear on occasion, but always shoot a couple of shots with the 40 just to make sure I document the bird.

Here are a couple of photos with it using the 2X extender fully extended.

And I have not had a SLR since film days so I can’t compare that either. I can say the SX40HS shots hold up well right through the largest viewing size on my monitor, and have what I would call “reasonable” quality at full resolution. Pretty amazing really for a small sensor camera. I am willing to trade whatever iq I lose for the easy of carry and use…there is nothing like being able to zoom from 24mm and extreme macro to 840mm equivalent…and then to kick in the digital tel-extender function and shoot 1680mm hand held. :)

I’m very impressed with your pictures using the SX40hs. I’m thinking of getting a superzoom as altenative to the heavy gear, tripod etc. for travelling, and for e.g. strolling around or cycling at home. This one looks like the current #1, with other possible contenders being the Panny FZ150 or the Fuji HS30exr. Do you have any comments or advice, e.g. how is the image quality (after using Lightroom etc.) compared to a dSLR with cropping, and do you miss Raw in the SX40? Thanks, and as always I enjoy your web site. Richard
