I post it here today to show you the capability of my old camera at a 3x magnification out the kitchen window. You can see the distance to my sister's little tree and how far it is to the Sunny Corner Bed. Now you must visualize the shepherd's hook in the foreground being out there by the daffodils (actually next to the second from the right).
Just as an aside, we've had these Baltimore Orioles visiting for two consecutive years! Yea!
Just the other day, there were two bluebirds in our front yard.
My new camera says 10x magnification, but goes beyond that... I took these at 40x.
Yes, I lost a little clarity (this bird was on the shepherd's hook)
And this one was on my sister's tree.
Both were taken with the Automatic Setting, which does incredible things all by itself. I haven't done my homework, yet with regard to the manual settings... But I was quite happy. What do you think??
