There's a whole world of "proper lenses" - a frightening rabbit hole to contemplate - for taking pictures of planets and wildlife at a real distance and raptors. Bankruptcy beckons. 😱 I'm holding off for now.
A basic Bridge like the Canon Powershot SX60 (ten years old) does me well enough.
Stunning! You even got Brian Eno to compose a soundtrack for it Did you take that bottom photograph?
I assure you, it's entirely down to the camera. I just point and shoot. No skill involved.
Yeah, I've got the SX50 and have had good results with bird photography. And it's nice and light.
I bought my Canon 400 f4 lens at a time when I had more money than sense. Of course 'pro' lenses coupled to 20MP+ bodies are geared towards printed output which is so much more demanding.
My brother-in-law is an astronomy nut so I'm guessing he's taken some stunning shots with his dedicated gear.
