[obol] new birding camera

[peterpatricelli]

I can only echo the already perceptive concerns expressed by others.  It can't be effectively hand-held and shot at zoom without a tripod, and 3 MP limits the extra cropping one could do for even more magnification which is already available in other cameras.  They don't mention the equivalent f stop.  I have an image stabilized superzoom that stays at F2.8 right to the 12X.  That is a HUGE difference.  The difference in price for a Nikon 300mm f2.8 and a 300mm f4 is $3000!!!

I would wait for some reviews and hands-on experience.
