wjbh：摄友们。。买那个 superzoom 机子好呢？最好是可当大炮打鸟用的。。。。 我在俺村发现一处有很多鸟的地方。、有红色的，有，。。。还有地势关系。。。架大炮不可能。。。躲车里可以的。。快 指点支招一下。。。谢谢先。。。。

北美天涯：如果你说的superzoom机，不是指单反机，这个问题很不好答。打鸟对器材要求比较高，从高一点的标准看，一般单反镜头不能胜任，需要400mm以上的牛头。不能换镜头的卡片机，能不能胜任，实在不 好说。。。

wjbh：我翻了。。dpreview group superzoon review (吓一跳，他们今天更新版了）和 amazon 比较了几个牌子的养图，就是拿不定主意，，canon powershot ix10 is，fuji 两款，panaxonic lumix fz28，sony cyber h50...，有何建议呀？最好又广，又长的。。。

北美天涯：我是比较相信dpreview的，根据dpreview，选择范围应该缩小在 Joint winners: Canon SX10 IS and Panasonic FZ28 之间。

Canon SX10 IS 的主要缺点是：Chromatic aberration (fringing), focus slows down in low light, lens quite slow at long end (F5.7) 这不适合打鸟！Canon SX10 IS 的主要优点是：
Extensive feature list, large viewfinder and articulated screen, good image quality at lower ISO settings, very reliable metering, focus, flash, white balance, build quality, effective image stabilization, big zoom range, great value for money所以，拍一般风景，扫街，都好

而 Panasonic FZ28 的主要缺点是：Some highlight clipping of contrasty scenes, slightly soft pixel-level output, small viewfinder.Panasonic FZ28 的主要优点是：Easy to use, good image quality, effective image stabilization, decent high ISO output (for smaller prints), compact design, useful zoom range, RAW mode (and full RAW converter package in the box), HD movie capture所以，如果是打鸟，推荐： Panasonic FZ28

wjbh：非常感谢，我再研究研究。

山雀：Buy a pair of good binoculars first. Then go observe and learn the birds - their names, habitats, behaviors, etc. Pay special attention to the lighting condition, the bird movement, and shyness so you have an idea how you can photograph them. Only if you feel enjoyable in studying birds, then you might consider invest in buying the equipment.

As 北美天涯 pointed out, superzoom does not quite fit the requirement for photographing birds. The critical factors to consider are: shutter lag time, frames per second, focusing speed, and resolution. The resolution factor is difficult to judge until you actually use the camera. But good resolution is essential for taking bird pictures. You might have noticed that birds are so small, to catch them in focus is difficult enough, not to mention you need to catch their eyes!

Bottom line, you need to first enjoy bird watching before doing bird photographing. If you get serious about it, you need about $2K to start with :) Good luck.
