Panasonic targeted that commercial to people incapable of learning to
use a DSLR, and you are the perfect victim. Anyway, please post your
birding shots or any BIF shots you've taken with your PoS camera. I'd
love to see them.

I'm sure you would.

Another super-zoom P&S that looks great on paper but falls short in
terms of image quality. A lens that's a big compromise with a sensor
that's far too small for the number of pixels. Still, it's probably the
best of the super-zooms.

The SP-800 looks to be a disaster. Too many pixels for the sensor, no
EVF, and a stupid long lens.

Exactly so. *

And could this be the same Panasonic company that actively markets
Micro Four Thirds cameras and interchangeable lenses as an *upgrade*
from point and shoot digicams? * Of course it could!

Panasonic is in a desperate situation. Sales P&S cameras have leveled
off and all the growth is in D-SLRs because consumers have become more
aware of the advantages of D-SLRs. Panasonic has no D-SLRs. So all
Panasonic can do is to create commercials that try to mislead consumers.
Very sad. Looks like they found one victim in our favorite troll.

Made me curious and I have found this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/quinet/97834921/sizes/o/

30x zoom and 10 fps are nice if you don't care for noise and CA.
The bigger the zoom range the worse CA will be, especially at the end
of zoom range.


DanP

LOL!!!!!!!! Oh wise pretend-photographer fool, now you have to explain to
everyone why that might be so!

But YOU CAN'T!

Because IT'S A ****ING LIE!

LOL!

This is a composite of several bird images, taken from different angles
that do not match up in the final image. It's not a bad effect, and it is
interesting enough to be a commercially saleable image, but it does not
resemble an original image.

Do you have a reasonably good P&S bird image to show?

WRONG, MORON! It's a single shot. Anyone with a sharp eye can tell that
just by the light on their feathers alone. I guess that counts you out,
don't it.

LOL!

I was on a bird photo expedition and after deciding I had taken enough of
them sitting still, preening, feeding, etc., I thought I should get some in
flight, so I startled them into the air for that shot (among others). I
despise manipulated images and have posted strongly against that in the
past. I also pride myself on being able to compose in-camera, that fast.

THIS IS WHAT PRO PHOTOGRAPHERS DO.

Don't you ****in' get it yet? You useless **** of an asswipe
pretend-photographer snapshooting troll.

Why don't you do what all you other useless-**** DSLR trolls do? Claim I
stole it, or shot it with a DSLR?

LOL!

No ****, you ****in' Sherlock! I *NEVER* post anything marketable to the
net. This is only one from a whole series. I put it on calendars to give
away to friends one year because I didn't like their formation in this one.
Something to be thrown away. Now where's your example? You lousy piece of
**** role-playing pretend-photographer troll.

Taking images of any birds in flight with any P&S camera in my hands is
easy. Apparently you DSLR-Troll ****s are so inept and talentless that you
can't even do that. As proved by the crapshot too-shallow-DOF blurry
sitting-bird photos. Go ahead, explain to us again why a DSLR is required
for wildlife photography. And don't give us that bull**** song and dance
about high ISOs. The aperture on super-zoom P&S cameras at longest reach
surpasses DSLR glass by up to 3 to 4 aperture stops so high ISOs aren't
needed. High ISOs are the required crutch of ****ty camera designs and ****
poor snapshooters.

LOL!

Actually, I'm not arguing with him - he's blocked. I pity the people who
don't have this choice, and must be around him on a daily basis. Can you
imagine? LOL.

Regarding the egret composite, I've been wrong in the past, but this image
is so obviously a composite it's probably not worth discussing. If anyone
wants, I will post a list of mistakes that were made in creating what I
still consider a rather attractive final result.

The funny thing is, I agree with what's-his-face's point that SLR's will
*eventually* be supplanted by high quality non-reflex cameras, EVIL and the
next generation of integrated lens/sensor cameras. At the same time I
respect people who create excellent photographs, whatever camera they may
use.

Oh, that would be hilarious to read! Please do! Hell, you can't even get
the bird species right let alone anything else about that single-shot
non-composite photo. Holy **** man! Can't you even see the curved beaks?
LOL!!!!! And then you profess to claim to know more about that photo than
the one who shot it? LOL!!!!!!!!!

Please! Do show us even MORE examples your lofty intelligence, OH EXULTED
AND MIGHTY PRETEND-PHOTOGRAPHER DSLR-TROLL.

(The sarcasm did come through clearly, didn't it?)

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let us all not forget that that image was posted to PROVE that a P&S camera
is more capable of capturing birds in flight than any clunky DSLR gear.
Where you would miss all the shots in changing lenses in time. That shot
was taken using the widest angle on the super-zoom lens because they were
that close when they burst into flight. No time to switch from telephoto to
wide-angle lens on a DSLR. And doing so would have made the very noise and
actions that would have startled them in the first place. But when has the
original problem presented with *all* DSLRs ever stopped the DSLR TROLLS
from using their red-herring displacement activity (can't fight or flight)
to evade and avoid the REAL issue?

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!
