Nice pictures, I have no luck with pictures of birds but I hope.......owner of H1

Hi Judy, Thanks for the compliments! Considering that all the photos (except the ducks) were shot through 3 layers of glass, I think the H1 does a very good job. Most were taken with the Sony 1.7 telecon, also. I'm sure the H5 will be great. Hope you can wait! Gordon

Hi Gordon, I have certainly enjoyed your splendid galleries. I found the birds first because I'm considering the H1 for birds and often check DPReview and PBase. These birds are delightful and very well done. I'm always amazed at how colourful the annoying Starling is when they're sitting in the sun. I've used the 717 for the last two years and love the quality of photos it produces but would like more reach for the birds. Consequently I'm considering the H1 but will wait until the reviews come in on the H5. I noticed you mentioned a telecon. Do you use the Sony 1.7 tele adapter? Thanks for posting your beautiful photos............happy shooting!! Cheers, Judy

Hi scotlandone, Thanks for your good words. I'm really glad you like them. I wonder if the Coal Tit was a stowaway on an old Scotish vessel, many years ago. Otherwise, how can we explain the same bird on different continents? Not enough time for a parallel evolution. I DO have patience, and a nice telecon lens, but the black oil sunflower seeds really draw a crowd at the feeder. And you're right, those Chickadees and Redpolls are very tiny and FAST! I appreciate your comments. Gordon r

Considering some of these little guys are not much bigger than your thumb... fabulous magnification and good short end depth of field with a hazy background. In Scotland we call Chickadees - Tits. The one with the black head split by the white triangle looks identical to our Coal Tit. You have a lot of patience Gordon... and a big lens.
