This is at the full 1200mm optical reach of my new Canon SX50HS, and is actually the very first <em>bird<\/em> shot I took with it. Low light in the shade of the trees (and the darkness of the subject) pushed the ISO to 800. I am actually quite pleased with the results. The jury is still very much out on the camera as a whole. The SX40HS is a hard act to follow. But so far so good!<\/p>\n<p>As above. f6.5 @ 1\/100th @ ISO 800.
