Wow! The Big Zoom Appears
Another visit to The Dam yielded unexpected results. A lady appeared with her super large zoom camera. I was green with envy!
I approached her and asked about her very large Nikon camera. Soon several other photographers joined us and we discussed the merits of having a “real” zoom camera and the benefits of shooting in RAW against jpeg. My small Nikon L820 only shoots in jpeg. Anyway we final decided to take some shots and compare results. Suddenly they were amazed by my little David against their big Goliath cameras.
Following is one comparison…….
Approximate Simulation Of the 500 Zoom Lens
Actual 30X Zoom of My Camera
Similar results were achieved when we photographed other subjects including a small bird.
So once again I was shocked and grateful with what my simple inexpensive camera could achieve.
……..and we all agreed how wonderful photography can be regardless of your equipment.

Great post!
Thank you!
Rene’ and I were considering those results , just yesterday!
How amazing……they were all very impressed with my camera except that it does not have RAW. Still the results were outstanding and much easier than carrying a huge telephoto lens which does not capture as close up as mine. They also asked about micro and mine has an excellent one up to 2 inches I believe. There are many other features like on board editing, HDR, slow motion video, 3D etc.
Sorry to rave on but I love this camera. Warmest wishes to you and Rene’.
Interesting post, thoroughly enjoyed it! 🙂
Many thanks Dina……you take some of the most amazing photographs 🙂
