I know it's only a little Robin again but I just needed to get out - between the showers this afternoon- with the new camera. If you know anything about cameras you will be as amazed as me that the shutter speed for this photo was only 1/30 of a second, how can that be and it still be sharp? This image is straight from the camera, not manipulated or cropped in Photoshop. With most long lenses you need to be around 12 feet or more to be able to focus but with this setup, a Vario 100-400 lens you can focus down to 3 feet, amazing! I am really staggered by my new Lumix G9, a mirrorless camera instead of the usual DSLR. This is a watershed moment in wildlife photography I think. Just imagine when we have some good light. Here is the EXIF which you may find interesting if it's not for you then please just ignore it.
