A number of folks have asked which camera I have used for some of my recent photographs. This post attempts to provided some feedback.

A quick comment … my Sony A6300 with its 70-350 mm lens is definitely a better camera that my Canon sx70, however each camera has its strengths and weaknesses:

1. The Canon has a amazing zoom, but a tiny sensor. This means I tend to only use this camera when there is very good light, and I have a bird subject that is far away.
2. The Sony has a great combined package with great low light capabilities, but I need to get much closer to my subject.
3. The Sony and its 70-350 is not a full sensor camera, nor do I have a big lens (by choice). I like the smaller form factor which is much more practical for hiking. You will never see me taking bird photographs with a tripod. I move around two much, and am very often a long ways away from my car.

Here are some images from the past few days.

Steam Shovel Sally and her 3 Juveniles – Ospreys (Canon)

Northern Harrier (Canon … the harrier is quite far away)
