Just another Buzzard...Posted By Steve Stonehill |
That's a fantastic shot! I haven't been able to get close enough to any of our Jersey buzzards to get a pic anywhere near that.

Image Quality?Posted By Steve Stonehill |
Hi Brian,
While I'm not anywhere near your level of photgraphic knowledge I can offer you a few opinions that pertain to your question. I have the 8mp Nikon Coolpix 8700 and the 6mp Canon Digital Rebel. Both cameras, to my eye, are capable of fantastic resolution and produce excellent results. However, the DSLR is the better choice, IMHO. It offers the ability to use much better lenses than the point and shoot cameras are equipped with and the auto focus performance of the Canon when equipped with their L series USM lenses is much, much faster than the Nikon Coolpix. The DSLR also allows you to image at a telescopes prime focus rather than use the EP projection method that you're stuck with in a point and shoot. For me, just these few things make the DSLR a more versatile choice and I don't think I really gave up any image quality, it might even be the opposite.
