No, not dreaming. That's how good they are now. My wife's older Fuji
only does JPEG yet mostly performs just as well as my K5. IMHO the
Superzooms & Mirrorless are serious challengers to the DSLR's.
BTW, I'm surprised you don't say "veld" which has long been an accepted
English word in SA. Sounds much more romantic than "field"!

The P950 arrived yesterday evening. It's a very ugly contraption and
feels like a plastic toy of 1 kg. Charged the battery and this morning
the first test shots at the worst conditions possible (grey, drizzle,
dark) which required high iso (800-1600) and slow shutter speeds (1/60
1/125) at 2000mm and handheld. This is what I got:

RAW format and the only edit I applied was hitting auto Tone and auto
WB in lightroom. The most amazing part is the SR at 2000mm handheld
and no CA or purple fringing at 2000mm
Can somebody pinch me I must be dreaming
It's now pouring down so I'll have to wait until it's dry for some
real birding in the field.

A Coolpix P950 is on it's way. In a few days I will know if it was my
best or my worst idea.

I have been considering the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ2000. It may not have
a extremely long reach (24-480 mm), but it has a 1 inch sensor that is
much improvement compared to those of standard compact camera's.
On the other hand, it means I would no longer take along my Pentax
DSLR's which, though heavier to carry, will surely give better results
for landscapes.

After realizing my next photo buying frenzy probably involves a $2000
body and if I make that kind of investment also a $2000 LBA 150-450
for serious birding I think I should consider other options for
birding. Also considering the heavy weight lifting for 3-4 hours while
strolling around in the woods. Breaking both my wallet and my back.
Maybe a Superzoom like the Nikon Coolpix P950? I switched from analog
Pentax to digital on the Coolpix 950. Why not switch again to a 950 :)
Any list wisdom on superzooms which support RAW format?
